Where it sits in the control system
The EL2024 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Beckhoff EL2024
Beckhoff EL2024 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number EL2024; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Humidity: 95%, no condensation — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Output current: 2.0 A (short-circuit proof) per channel — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Operating temperature: 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
Available from stock with datasheet, certificates and a quotation on request.
Common questions about EL2024
Q.Which value is published under storage temperature for catalog number EL2024?
For EL2024, storage temperature is given as -40…+85°C. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Before ordering EL2024, which weight entry should be checked?
The weight entry quoted above is approx. 55 g. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Where can I find the certifications data for EL2024?
It is listed in the specification table for Beckhoff EL2024 as CE, UL, cULus. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Can the EL2024 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number EL2024 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for EL2024?
Send the full catalog number EL2024, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for Beckhoff EL2024.
