Beckhoff: EL2068 EtherCAT Terminal, 8-Channel Digital Output, with Channel Diagnostics

August 8, 2023

The EL2068 digital output terminal connects the binary control signals of the automation device to the actuators at process level with electrical isolation.

This EtherCAT Terminal contains eight channels, which display their signal status by means of LEDs. The integrated diagnostics can be evaluated in the controller and are indicated by the LEDs. A diagnostic bit is set for the affected channel if there is an overload. The diagnostics serve to simplify the maintenance of the application. In the EL2068, the outputs are supplied via the 24 V power contact. The power contacts are looped through.

Special features:

  • connection of different load types possible (resistive, inductive, lamp load)
  • max. output current of 0.5 A per channel
  • short-circuit proof outputs and reverse polarity protection
  • integrated diagnostic possibility overload
  • parameterizable output behavior in case of bus error (safe state)

Leviton: FLX-1 Technology for Berk-Tek Cables

Leviton recently announced that its FLX-1 advanced polymer technology is now available on select Berk-Tek plenum Cat 6A and Cat 6 cables. The new FLX-1 technology — built into the cable jacket — greatly improves the flexibility of the cable so it is easier to bend, less likely to kink, and leads to simple installations. When pulling network cable, installers and integrators must often deal with cable memory, where the cable takes the form of the reels or boxes it was packaged in.
