  • Page 8: System Description

    2 System description 2.1 The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system is used for decentralized connection of sensors and actuators to a control system. The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system components are mainly used in industrial automation and building management applications. In its minimum configuration, a bus station consists of a Bus Coupler or a Bus Terminal Controller and Bus Terminals connected to it.

    2.2.3 EL1904, EL2904 – Bus Terminals with 4 fail-safe inputs or outputs The EL1904 and EL2904 Bus Terminals enable connection of common safety sensors and actuators. They are operated with the EL6900 TwinSAFE logic terminal. The TwinSAFE logic terminal is the link unit between the TwinSAFE input and output terminals.
  • Page 13: Product Description

    3.1 General description EL2904 - Digital four-channel TwinSAFE output terminal The EL2904 is a safe output terminal with digital outputs for connecting actuators (contactors, relays, etc.) with a maximum current 0.5 A (24 V ). The Bus Terminal has 4 fail-safe outputs.
  • Page 14: Appropriate Use

    TwinSAFE terminals may only be used for the purposes described below! WARNING The TwinSAFE terminals expand the application range of Beckhoff Bus Terminal system with functions that enable them to be used for machine safety applications. The TwinSAFE terminals are designed for machine safety functions and directly associated industrial automation tasks.

    Bus Terminals must be taken account of, since some types (e.g. analog Bus Terminals or digital 4-channel Bus Terminals) do not or not fully loop through the power contacts. Power Feed Terminals (EL91xx, EL92xx) interrupt the power contacts and thus represent the start of a new supply rail. EL2904...
