Here’s a concise breakdown of the EL1852 Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal:

• Functionality: Combines 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs in a single device.

• Voltage & Current: Operates at 24 V DC, with outputs supporting up to 0.5 A per channel.

• Input Filtering: Features a 3 ms input filter, preventing bouncing from mechanical switches.

• Compact Design: High packing density with 16 channels, making it space-efficient.

• Connection: Uses a 20-pin contact strip for secure plug connections via insulation displacement contacts.

• Protection: Outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against reverse polarity.

• LED Indicators: Signal states of inputs and outputs are displayed via 16 LEDs.

• Installation: Designed for DIN rail mounting, ensuring easy integration
