Product Description

Beckhoff Automation is an engineering company that is dedicated to the production of state-of-the-art automation and industrial control solutions that improves production and processing systems while maintaining impressive cost and energy efficiency. Machines from this company are used in a wide range of applications ranging from CNC-controlled machine tools to intelligent building automation. The EL3174-0002 is an EtherCAT analog input terminal produced by Beckhoff to provide customers with a reliable way to process analog signals, digitalize it, and transmit them to a higher level automation device. This product is designed to work with input signals that fall within the range of -10 to +10 volts and an input voltage that is between -20 to +20 amperes. There are four input terminals on this product, and each of these terminals can be individually parameterized.

The voltage inputs on the EL3174-0002 operate differentially, while the current inputs are single ended. Also, all inputs operate at a resolution of about 16 bits. The terminal measuring range of this device is up to 107 percent of the nominal range, the terminal also supports commissioning with sensor values in the limit range, and diagnostics according to NAMURE NE43. The EL3174-0002 features input filters which maintain a limit frequency of about 5 kilohertz. The common-mode voltage of this product is about 35 volts.

The EL3174-0002 features overcurrent protection, it can also be installed and use without the need for any configuration settings. The electrical current consumable through the E-bus of this product is about 180 milliamperes, wile the electrical isolation voltage is about 500 volts. Every unit of this product is tested and certified to conform to the EN 60068-2-6 vibration and shock resistance standards. The protection class of the product is also about IP20.
