EtherCAT I/O Products, Analog Output, Current, Voltage

EtherCAT I/O Products support the most typical signals with the levels 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA.

Due to different numbers of channels and resolutions, Beckhoff offers the right product for every application in the product portfolio of EtherCAT analog output terminals.

Some analog EtherCAT Terminals are based on the XFC technology (eXtreme Fast Control), which enables rapid, deterministic reactions to be realized. This technology enables fast I/O response times, oversampling of the output signal and a temporally precise signal output to match a predetermined timestamp with a resolution of 1 ns. Highly accurate synchronization of all distributed clocks-capable devices in the network is attainable with a synchronization accuracy of << 1 µs with the EtherCAT distributed clocks.

Advantages:

• robust measurement of analog signals with long-term availability
• fine scalability of channel density and functional scope
• extensive adjustment and diagnostic options in the terminals via the EtherCAT bus
• distributed clocks for the precise acquisition of the timestamp of an input signal and synchronization of the network
• optionally calibrated terminals for precise acquisition of the measurement uncertainty
