Beckhoff offers the EL8601-8411 EtherCAT Terminal with flexibility in a compact, 12-mm-wide design. With up to 12 signal interfaces (8 x DI, 2 x DO, 1 x AI, 1 x AO) and nine signal types in one terminal, the multi-interface is ideal for numerous applications. These use cases include systems that require only a few complex signals or to enable highly flexible signal configuration on custom machines without adding single-purpose hardware. The EL8601-8411 offers a large number of configurable combinations, and in addition to the digital inputs and outputs, one analog input and one analog output can be configured as a current or voltage signal.
