Beckhoff Automation elx1052

The ELX1052 digital input terminal allows the direct connection of intrinsically safe field devices located in hazardous areas classified zone 0/20 or 1/21 and acquires their signals in compliance with IEC 60947-5-6. The sensors are supplied with a voltage of 8.2 V and return a diagnosable current signal. In this way wire breakage or short circuit can be detected in addition to the switching state. The LEDs represent the signal states or any error states.   EtherCAT terminals of the ELX series must always be operated in conjunction with the ELX9560 power supply terminal. This terminal generates an electrically isolated output voltage (24 V EX) from the input voltage (24 V DC) for supplying the subsequent ELX terminals. If a new power supply is required, the combination of an ELX9410 and an ELX9560 can be used so that further ELX terminals can be added. The ELX terminal string must be terminated with one ELX9012 or two ELX9410.
