The Beckhoff EL1034 EtherCAT Terminal is equipped with 4 electrically isolated fast inputs that conform to EN 61131-2 type 1. Operating on a nominal 24 V DC supply, it recognizes “0” signals from -3 to +5 V and “1” signals between 15–30 V, with a typical input current of 3 mA. The module features a 10 µs input filter for high-speed response, making it ideal for fast digital signal acquisition. With 500 V isolation between the E-bus and field potential, it ensures safe operation in demanding conditions. Compact at just 12 × 100 × 68 mm and weighing 50 g, it supports DIN rail mounting and pluggable wiring for easy integration. The housing includes signal LEDs for clear status indication and supports up to 10 A current load on its power contacts.
Certified with CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, the EL1034 is built to meet international safety and compliance standards. It operates reliably between 0–55°C, tolerates storage down to -25°C, and withstands shock and vibration per EN 60068 standards. Designed with IP20 protection, the terminal integrates seamlessly into EtherCAT networks without requiring address or configuration settings, reducing commissioning time for engineers and system integrators. Its polycarbonate housing is robust and designed for long service life in industrial environments.
Applications of the EL1034 EtherCAT Terminal include fast detection of digital inputs from switches, sensors, and push buttons in high-speed machinery, conveyor systems, and process automation. Maintenance teams benefit from its pluggable wiring and LED diagnostics, which simplify troubleshooting and reduce downtime. For OEMs and system builders, its combination of speed, electrical isolation, and ease of integration supports scalability across multiple projects. Students and junior engineers also find it a valuable learning tool for understanding EtherCAT-based input processing. With Beckhoff engineering quality, the EL1034 offers precision, durability, and trust for industries requiring dependable digital input solutions.
