The ELX2008 digital output terminal enables the direct connection of intrinsically safe actuators located in hazardous areas classified Zone 0/20 or 1/21. The ELX2008 supplies an output voltage of 24 V DC and a maximum output current of 30 mA per channel. The signal state of each channel is indicated by a light emitting diode.

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.
