ELX1058 - Introduction
Fig. 6: ELX1058 - 8-channel digital input terminal for NAMUR sensors, Ex i
The ELX1058 digital input terminal allows the direct connection of intrinsically safe NAMUR field devices
from hazardous areas of zones 0/20 and 1/21 and records their signals according to IEC 60947-5-6. The
sensors are supplied with a voltage of 8.2 V and return a current signal that can be diagnosed. In this way, in
addition to the switching status, line break or short circuit is also detected. The LEDs display the signal or
any error states.
By software, it is possible to select channel by channel whether a positive switching or negative switching
sensor is to be connected. In this way, both NAMUR openers and closers can be integrated into the control
system.
