Product Description

This component IE3312-B520-0000 of Beckhoff is a highly specialized 4-channel analog input extension box designed for precise thermocouple temperature measurements. Beckhoff is a global leader in industrial automation technology known for pioneering innovations in PC-based control systems. Their solutions integrate advanced software and hardware to optimize manufacturing.

This IE3312-B520-0000 extension box thermocouple module with its compact design comes in a housing made from durable PA6 (polyamide) which is well-suited for industrial environments. The unit features M12 sockets for easy connection to various thermocouple types, including J, K, L, B, E, N, R, S, T, and U, with a default configuration set to type K. It supports a measuring range from -100°C to +1370°C, offering a resolution of 0.1°C per digit. This helps in ensuring highly accurate temperature readings. This IE extension box series unitprovides a measurement error of less than ±0.5% and this key feature helps in maintaining consistent accuracy relative to the full-scale value. Its configurable conversion time can range from approximately 250 ms to as fast as 70 ms. This aids in allowing a lot of flexible solutions based on specific application requirements. The component operates on a 24V DC power supply by consuming only 40 mA (without sensor current).

The IE3312-B520-0000 extension box’s electrical isolation is found between channels and control voltage at 500V. This specification is important since it helps in ensuring safety and system integrity. It meets rigorous EMC immunity and emission standards to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. With protection of IP65/66/67 rating, the unit is highly resistant to dust and water. This helps in making it suitable for challenging industrial environments. It also conforms to EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 standards for vibration and shock resistance by ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
