Introduction

EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel PWM output, 24 V_DC, 0.5 A

The EL2502 output terminal modulates the pulse width of a binary signal, and outputs it electrically isolated from the E-bus. The mark/space ratio is preset by a 16 bit value from the automation device.

The output stage is protected against overload and short-circuit.

The EtherCAT Terminal contains two channels whose signal state is indicated by LEDs. The LEDs are driven in time with the outputs, and show the duty cycle by their brightness.
