Description
Beckhoff EL4004 analog output module — description and applications
The Beckhoff EL4004 analog output module is a brand new (factory new) EtherCAT terminal from the EL series, designed to generate 0…10 V voltage signals in Beckhoff industrial automation systems. The device features four independent output channels with 12-bit resolution, enabling precise analog voltage control of frequency inverters (VFDs), proportional valves and process controllers, among others. The terminal is aimed at system integrators, machine builders, maintenance departments and service companies specializing in the modernization and repair of EtherCAT-based control cabinets.

Applications
The Beckhoff EL4004 analog output module is used in distributed EtherCAT I/O systems found in production machinery, packaging lines and industrial installations wherever a 0…10 V voltage signal needs to be controlled. It is used by automation system integrators to expand the I/O stations of CX controllers and Beckhoff industrial controllers. The terminal is also popular with service companies repairing and upgrading existing control cabinets, where output modules need to be replaced or added.
Condition and scope of delivery
The unit on offer is a Beckhoff EL4004 analog output module sourced from surplus stock — a brand new (factory new) product, unused and never installed in a system. The photos show the original Beckhoff packaging with a window through which the label with the catalog number and serial number can be read. The module shows no visible signs of use, corrosion or mechanical damage. Buyers should review all photos, as they form an integral part of the description and allow the visual condition of the delivered goods to be assessed.
Why RECOSTOCK
At RECOSTOCK we offer brand new (factory new) industrial automation components sourced from surplus stock, at prices below regular distribution. Every order is invoiced with a VAT invoice, and goods are packed to protect them from damage in transit. We ship from Poland, and our team can help you select a replacement and verify catalog markings before purchase.
Compatibility and installation
The EL4004 terminal is part of the Beckhoff EL series of EtherCAT modules and mounts on a DIN rail alongside other terminals of this family, forming a distributed I/O station that works with Beckhoff controllers supporting the EtherCAT bus. Before purchase, compare the full EL4004 catalog number and the revision number with the technical documentation of your existing installation or the component being replaced to ensure full functional compatibility.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is the EL4004 number on the housing the complete product designation?
Yes, EL4004 is the full model designation of the terminal shown on the nameplate. The label also carries serial number 40200419 and revision number 0020, which are worth verifying before purchase.
What does new-old-stock status mean?
It means that the Beckhoff EL4004 analog output module is a brand new (factory new), unused product sourced from a distributor's or integrator's surplus stock — it has never been installed in a system.
Will the module be compatible with my EtherCAT station?
The EL4004 terminal works with Beckhoff I/O stations supporting the EtherCAT bus; however, before purchase we recommend comparing the catalog number and revision with the documentation of your installation.
How is shipping handled and will I receive a VAT invoice?
We ship goods from Poland in protective packaging, and every order comes with a VAT invoice. If you have any questions about availability, please contact our team.
Can I receive confirmation of the serial number before purchase?
Yes, on request we can confirm the details of the markings visible on the label before the order is finalized — feel free to contact us with any questions.
