Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Beckhoff EL1004-0020 correctly.

  1. Power Down the System: Turn off all power to the EtherCAT network.

  2. Mount DIN Rail: Ensure 35 mm DIN rail conforms to EN 60715.

  3. Attach Terminal: Clip the EL1004-0020 onto the DIN rail until it locks.

  4. Connect E-bus: Insert the terminal into an existing EtherCAT terminal block.

  5. Side Mounting: Use double slot and key connection for adjacent terminals.

  6. Strip Wires: Remove 8 to 9 mm of insulation from each conductor.

  7. Terminate Wires: Insert solid, stranded, or ferrule wires using a screwdriver.

  8. Connect Sensors: Wire up to four 2-wire sensors to the input channels.

  9. Use +24V Points: Connect sensor power using the additional +24V connection points.

  10. Verify Polarity: Check correct wiring for 24V DC nominal voltage.

  11. Apply Power: Turn on the E-bus and field power supplies.

  12. Check LEDs: Observe signal state via the four light emitting diodes.

  13. Monitor Input Current: Expect typical 3 mA per active input.

  14. Test Input Filter: Verify 3.0 ms filter eliminates contact bounce.
