The Beckhoff EL1252 is a high-speed 2-channel digital input terminal that acquires fast binary 24 V DC control signals from the process level and transmits them in electrically isolated form to the controller via EtherCAT. Each channel features LED status indication and advanced timestamp functionality with 1 nanosecond resolution for precise edge change detection. The terminal utilizes XFC (eXtreme Fast Control) technology to enable exact time correlation with the distributed clocks system-wide, eliminating the need for parallel hardware wiring of digital inputs or encoder signals for synchronization. In conjunction with the EL2252 output terminal, it enables responses with equidistant time intervals largely independent of bus cycle time. The compact terminal features 4-wire connection technology, electrical isolation up to 500 V, and is suitable for demanding industrial automation applications requiring precise time-synchronized signal acquisition.
