The 16-channel EL1259 digital EtherCAT Terminal combines the functions of the EL1258 – eight multi-timestamp inputs – with those of the EL2258 – eight multi-timestamp outputs. The high channel density in conjunction with time stamping of the signals enables fast, efficient processes through optimized sensor and actuator control. The EL1259 is also synchronized with other devices through the distributed clocks system, so that events in the whole system can be measured with a uniform timebase. The combination of DC-switched inputs and outputs within one terminal can be used for local switching tasks.

Special features:

• suitable for particularly fast signals due to very low input delay
• combination of inputs and outputs in one terminal
• high channel density
• synchronized operation through distributed clocks XFC technology possible
• high performance thanks to XFC multi-timestamp feature
