EL14xx and EL24xx EtherCAT terminals combine core functions and a new circuit architecture, provide hardware updates that enable flexible configuration of logic in individual I/O terminals, and add a configurable input filter. These expanded components, with up to 32 channels per terminal, offer flexibility for standard applications and added functionality. The following I/O are available in the EL14xx and EL24xx series:
- EL1409 has 16-channel digital input, 24 V DC, input filter 3 ms, positive switching;
- EL1489 has 16-channel digital input, 24 V DC, input filter 3 ms, ground switching;
- EL1429 has 16-channel digital input, 24 V DC, input filter 3 ms, positive/ground switching;
- EL1417 has 32-channel digital input, 24 V DC, adjustable, positive switching;
- EL2409 has 16-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, positive switching;
- EL2489 has 16-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, ground switching; and
- EL2407 has 32-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, positive switching.
