ELM EtherCAT Terminal Series

The Beckhoff ELM EtherCAT Terminal Series provides an advanced range of measurement terminals designed for complex system-integrated data acquisition systems. The terminals feature a multi-function input circuit that can be flexibly configured to accommodate over 30 different electrical connection types including various voltages, currents, resistances, and thermocouple/RTD temperature measurements. This versatility enables a single module to solve a wide range of electrical measurement tasks, reducing the need for specialized terminals. Measurement terminals within the series offer different connection options to suit diverse applications. Models like the ELM3704-0001 are well-suited for laboratories with its high-quality LEMO connectors that support frequent reconfigurations. Alternatively, models such as the ELM3704-0000 and ELM3702-0000 are better for industrial use with fast push-in connectors as plugging is less frequent. The ELM series supports measurements with 24-bit resolution, sampling rates up to 10 kSPS, and distributed clock synchronization. This enables efficient implementation of advanced data acquisition systems demanding high levels of accuracy and synchronization for industries and laboratories. Overall, the ELM series provides flexible and high-performance measurement solutions integrated within EtherCAT networks.
