Product Description

The Beckhoff EL3064-0018 is an EtherCAT terminal equipped with four single-ended measuring inputs with a capacity of 0-10 V and is applicable for use as a part of EL EtherCAT Terminal Series for kinds of industrial automation tasks. For every input, the internal resistance is higher than 130 kΩ so as not to overload any circuits. The terminal also supports activatable FIR/IIR filters for more effective signal processing with the possibility of limit value monitoring, which makes it precise for control and measurement tasks.

Default conversion time is 0.625 ms with multiplexing which can be altered in accordance to certain needs. It gives 12 bits resolution (inside 16 bits presentation which includes sign), while quite reliable, never misses more than 0.3% error regarding the full scale value. The terminal requires a current of 130 mA from the E-bus and sends 16 bytes worth of input data within the process image. Consequently, there is no trouble when integrating it into EtherCAT networks.

The EL3064-0018 can work in quite harsh conditions due to its dielectric strength of 30 V. It is designed to be mounted on a standard 35 mm mounting rail DIN, EN 60715 and can be mounted firmly onto the fieldbus coupler using the tongue and groove method which enhances its operational rides storing the terminal. The disassembly/construction applies power to the system before hand to avoid electric shocks or damage to the equipment. It can withstand -40°C during storage. It has a weight of around 60 grams which is compact and allow for effortless mounting in control cabinets or terminal boxes. Furthermore, the terminal has an ATEX certificate which guarantees the safety of the product in dangerous areas.
