Where it sits in the control system
The EL2212 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…72 V DC (-15%/+0%) 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 EL2212
Beckhoff EL2212 — 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 EL2212; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Operating temperature: 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Humidity: 95%, no condensation — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.

Common questions about EL2212
Q.Where can I find the supply voltage data for EL2212?
It is listed in the specification table for Beckhoff EL2212 as 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2). Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.For EL2212, what does the specification table state about certifications?
The specification table lists certifications = CE, UL, cULus for Beckhoff EL2212. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Which value is published under mounting for catalog number EL2212?
For EL2212, mounting is given as 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of EL2212 before ordering?
Match the catalog number EL2212 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the EL2212 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number EL2212 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.
