analog output

The KL4004 is a four-channel analog output terminal from the Beckhoff Bus Terminal series (KL series) for the traditional K-Bus I/O system. It outputs 0–10 V voltage signals to control actuators, valves, drives, and other devices that accept an analog voltage setpoint. It belongs to the KL4xxx analog output family, which typically offers higher resolution than the KL3xxx family. Unlike EtherCAT terminals (EL series), the KL series communicates via the K-Bus and is typically used with Beckhoff Bus Couplers or Bus Terminal Controllers.

The KL4002 is a two-channel analog output terminal from the Beckhoff Bus Terminal series (KL series) for the traditional K-Bus I/O system. It outputs 0–10 V voltage signals to control actuators, valves, drives, and other devices that accept an analog voltage setpoint. It belongs to the KL4xxx analog output family, which typically offers higher resolution than the KL3xxx family, and is the 2-channel member alongside the KL4001. Unlike EtherCAT terminals (EL series), the KL series communicates via the K-Bus and is typically used with Beckhoff Bus Couplers or Bus Terminal Controllers.

The EL6001 is a single-channel serial interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for RS232 serial communication. It provides one RS232 port directly within the EtherCAT I/O system, allowing the controller to communicate with serial devices such as barcode scanners, weighing terminals, printers, HMIs, and legacy equipment. Data is exchanged transparently over EtherCAT, making the EL6001 a compact solution for integrating RS232 devices into modern automation systems.

The EL5152 is a two-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of incremental encoders with integrated position latch (registration) functionality on each channel. It reads the A/B track signals (and zero pulse) from two incremental encoders, maintains position counters, and can latch the position values on external triggers or zero pulses — enabling precise event-based position capture on two axes. It is widely used in multi-axis motion control, registration, and measuring applications.

The EL5151 is a single-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of incremental encoders with integrated position latch (registration) functionality. It reads the A/B track signals (and zero pulse) from an incremental encoder, maintains a position counter, and can latch the position value on an external trigger or zero pulse — enabling precise capture of positions at specific events. It is widely used in motion control, registration, and measuring applications.

The EL5021 is a single-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) encoders and equipped with incremental encoder simulation output. It reads the absolute position from an SSI encoder and can simultaneously output a simulated incremental encoder signal (A/B tracks, optionally with zero pulse) to a downstream drive or controller. This makes it a versatile interface for integrating absolute SSI encoders into systems that expect incremental feedback.

The EL5002 is a two-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) encoders. Each channel supplies the encoder with clock and power, reads the serial position data, and delivers the position values to the controller over EtherCAT. It is a compact solution for dual absolute position feedback in machine building, motion control, and positioning applications.  

The EL5001 is a single-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) encoders. It supplies the encoder with clock and power, reads the serial position data, and delivers the position value to the controller over EtherCAT. It is a compact solution for absolute position feedback in machine building, motion control, and positioning applications.

The EL4732 is a two-channel analog output terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for output of bipolar ±10 V voltage signals with integrated current measurement on each output. It converts digital values from the controller into two independent bipolar analog voltage outputs and simultaneously measures the current flowing at each output, enabling detection of load conditions, open circuits, and actuator faults directly at the terminal. It is a diagnostic-capable bipolar output terminal for applications requiring verification of connected loads.

The EL4712 is a two-channel analog output terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for output of 0–10 V voltage signals with integrated current measurement on each output. It converts digital values from the controller into two independent analog voltage outputs and simultaneously measures the current flowing at each output, enabling detection of load conditions, open circuits, and actuator faults directly at the terminal. It is a diagnostic-capable output terminal for applications requiring verification of connected loads.

The EL4134 is a four-channel high-precision analog output terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for output of bipolar ±10 V voltage signals. It converts digital values from the controller into four independent, precise analog voltage outputs that can swing both positive and negative, making it suitable for drives, servo controllers, proportional valves, and other devices that require a bipolar analog setpoint. It is the high-precision member of the 4-channel ±10 V output family, suited for multi-axis motion control and precision test applications.

The EL4132 is a two-channel high-precision analog output terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for output of bipolar ±10 V voltage signals. It converts digital values from the controller into two independent, precise analog voltage outputs that can swing both positive and negative, making it suitable for drives, servo controllers, proportional valves, and other devices that require a bipolar analog setpoint.
