Where it sits in the control system
The EL4102 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff industrial component 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 the rated 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 control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, 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 EL4102
Beckhoff EL4102 — 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 EL4102; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Weight: approx. 60 g — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Supply voltage: 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Bus interface: typ. 170 mA — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Communication ports: EtherCAT, Ethernet — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
Datasheets and compliance documents are available on request; quote the full catalog number when enquiring.
