The ED2504 EtherCAT Terminal offers up to four digital outputs, which are output as pulse-width modulated signals. The output signal can be modulated in both pulse width and frequency in the range of 1 Hz to 64 kHz. The output level is determined by the external voltage to be fed in and can be freely selected in the range from 5 V DC to 24 V DC.
The outputs are short circuit and overcurrent protected. In addition, a diagnosis is available for two channels at a time. Each channel also has a digital input with configurable filter times. The switching characteristic can be selected as either positive or ground switching (PNP/NPN) for each channel.
The input can be used as a digital input or to enable the PWM output. If the PWM signal is used to control the fan, for example, the additional input can be used for the measurement of rotary speed.
The ED-series EtherCAT Terminals have push-in connection technology which makes wiring easy and tool-free.
