It provides eight input channels and eight output channels, enabling flexible signal control without increasing terminal count or cabinet width. All inputs share the 0 V DC power contact as reference, while outputs are supplied via the 24 V DC power contact, supporting a wide range of industrial loads. With fast input filtering, protected outputs, and reliable EtherCAT communication, the EL1859 is engineered to meet the needs of modern automation infrastructures that require precise timing and robust signal switching. Key Features Combined I/O architecture: integrates eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs in a single EtherCAT terminal for space-efficient installations. Fast input filtering: includes a typical 3 ms filter to eliminate bounce from mechanical switches and improve input stability. Robust output protection: provides short-circuit resistance and reverse polarity protection with a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel. Wide load compatibility: supports ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads for flexible field device integration. LED channel indication: displays input and output status directly on the terminal for easy diagnostics and monitoring. Tool-free push-in wiring: supports direct plug-in connection for solid conductors to reduce installation time. Industrial-grade isolation: 500 V separation between E-bus and field potential enhances operational safety and system reliability. Certified for global use: meets CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx standards for deployment in diverse industrial environments. The EL1859 delivers the reliability and precision required for compact, real-time digital I/O processing in advanced EtherCAT automation systems.
