Precise, flexible, and powerful: Combined multi-functional terminals

• multi-functional inputs that cover all standard signals in the ±10 V and ±20 mA range (EL307x and EL407x), available in various signal combinations and channel densities, along with combined analog inputs and outputs (EL4374)
• high output power allows loads of up to 750 Ω (current) or > 2 kΩ (voltage) to be connected
• low analog uncertainty at less than 0.1% and extended measurement/output ranges (±107%) enable high production quality and precise process control, even at the limit range
• 16-bit resolution and channel conversion rates of 2 ksps enable close process monitoring and control
• plain text description of analog values and parameters with floating point numbers simplify commissioning enormously

Performance boost through CPU cores in turbo mode: TwinCAT Core Boost

• configure the clock frequency of individual processor cores as required
• up to 50% more computing power for one or more processor cores allows more complex applications to be run on one CPU or implementation of more cost-effective CPUs
• can be used with all industrial PCs with Intel^® Core™ i processors from the 11^th generation
• reliable operation thanks to power consumption and temperature monitoring
• parameterization and monitoring in runtime are integrated in TwinCAT
