Description

Designed for highly precise industrial signal processing, the BECKHOFF EL4114 analog output terminal generates analog control currents in the 0 to 20 mA range. This 4-channel output module features a high 16-bit resolution, delivering accurate control variables directly to field devices such as proportional valves, variable speed drives, and process indicators. Integrating natively into the EtherCAT high-speed communication network, the terminal supports Distributed Clocks (DC) to achieve synchronization precision of less than 1 microsecond, making it ideal for highly synchronized multi-axis control loops and demanding automation processes.

The compact 12 mm housing includes diagnostic LEDs indicating active status and communication states. The EL4114 utilizes 2-wire, single-ended connection technology, allowing for clean, space-saving cabinet layouts. Integrated parameterizable watchdog timers ensure safe fall-back states in the event of a control bus interruption.

Features

Four analog output channels processing standard 0 to 20 mA signals.
High-resolution 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion for fine control increments.
EtherCAT Distributed Clocks (DC) support with precision under 1 µs.
2-wire, single-ended wiring configuration.
Short-circuit proof outputs with a maximum load capacity of 350 ohms.
Configurable watchdog parameters for safety during communication faults.
Robust electrical isolation of 500 V between the internal E-bus and signal channels.

Applications

Proportional valve control and actuator positioning.
Speed referencing for variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor controllers.
Analog signal transmission to remote recorders or data acquisition units.
Process loop control in oil & gas, water treatment, and power generation.
