EL1084
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff EL1084 EtherCAT terminal is part of the EL EtherCAT Terminals series and is engineered to supply precise and stable power to industrial control systems. Featuring an adjustable output voltage range of 1.25V to 36V and a maximum output current of 5A, this terminal enables flexible voltage management for diverse automation applications. Its primary function is to regulate and monitor power delivery within EtherCAT networks, providing reliable operation under varying load conditions.
In terms of technical specifications, the EL1084 incorporates a 1.3V dropout voltage at 5A rating for highly efficient power conversion, alongside typical line regulation of 0.015%/V and load regulation of 0.1% to maintain voltage stability. The device achieves exceptional noise suppression with 75 dB ripple rejection and operates with a low quiescent current of 10 mA, minimizing power losses when idle. Built-in protection features include current limit and thermal shutdown, safeguarding both the terminal and connected modules from overload and overheating. The three-pin through-hole mounting style simplifies installation in compact assemblies.
Beyond its core performance, the EL1084 is designed for resilience and compatibility in demanding environments. It supports input voltages of up to 30V and functions reliably over an operating temperature range of 0°C to +125°C. A lightweight construction at approximately 55 g and a compact footprint enable integration into tight control cabinet spaces. With a 4-bit status word for input monitoring, the terminal communicates operational data directly to the EtherCAT system, enhancing diagnostic capabilities. Overall, the EL1084 offers industrial automation professionals a robust, efficient, and easy-to-install power regulation solution that elevates the reliability and performance of EtherCAT installations.
