• Beckhoff Traceability Number, or BTN for short (as a serial number it clearly identifies each terminal) Date code The date code is an eight-digit number given by Beckhoff and printed on the ELX terminal. The date code indicates the build version in the delivery state and thus identifies an entire production batch but does not distinguish between the terminals in a batch.
Foreword Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN) In addition, each ELX terminal has a unique Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN). Ex marking The Ex marking can be found at the top left on the terminal: II 3 (1) G Ex ec [ia Ga] IIC T4 Gc...
Fig. 4: ELX2792 - 2-channel relay output terminal, solid state, potential-free, Ex i The ELX2792 output terminal has two solid state relays, each of which is a changeover contact. Intrinsically safe loads can thus be switched up to zone 0/20. These could be ohmic loads, solenoid valves, contactors or optical/acoustic signal devices.
Product overview Technical data Technical data ELX2792-0000 Technology Semiconductor output Number of outputs Connection technology 2-wire Switching voltage max. 30 V max. 30 V (taking into account IEC 60079-11) Ohmic switching current max. 0.5 A max. 1 A (taking into account IEC 60079-11) Power supply of the electronics from the E-bus (5 V...
The ELX components may only be used in accordance with the ATEX directive and the IECEx scheme! The ELX terminals extend the field of application of the Beckhoff bus terminal system with functions for integrating intrinsically safe field devices from hazardous areas. The intended field of application is data acquisition and control tasks in discrete and process engineering automation, taking into account explosion protection requirements.
Special conditions of use for ELX terminals WARNING Observe the special conditions of use for the intended use of Beckhoff ELX terminals in potentially explosive areas (ATEX directive 2014/34/EU)! • The certified components are to be installed in a suitable housing that guarantees an ingress protection of at least IP54 in accordance with EN 60079-0 and EN 60529! The prescribed environmental conditions...
