Product Description

The EL3164 EtherCAT Terminal is made by Beckhoff, a pioneer in industrial automation technologies. This terminal is intended for a range of industrial applications requiring high-precision data processing and collection. It can connect with a variety of sensors and transducers that produce signals in the 0–10 volt range thanks to its four single-ended analog input channels. Because of its broad voltage range, the EL3164 may be used with a variety of common industrial sensors, which expands its adaptability to various automation configurations. With its 16-bit resolution, which includes a sign, the EL3164 can detect even the smallest changes in the analog input signal. To put this into perspective, the terminal can differentiate between 65,536 distinct voltage levels in the 0–10V range thanks to its 16-bit resolution. To improve the obtained analog signals, the EL3164 additionally uses digital signal processing methods, including FIR/IIR filters. Certain signal frequency components are selectively attenuated using FIR (Finite Impulse Response) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters, while others are allowed to flow through.

The EL3164 is intended to integrate easily with industrial automation systems, in addition to its primary functions. Its pluggable wiring architecture and small form size make maintenance and installation easier, cutting down on downtime and increasing overall efficiency. The "internal resistance 200 kΩ" of the terminal guarantees that the linked sensors experience little loading, maintaining the integrity of the signals that are being monitored. The integrated filter's cutoff frequency is indicated by the given "input filter limit frequency" of 5 kHz, which attenuates sounds over this frequency. In order to provide safety and dependability in industrial settings, the dielectric strength max. 30 V standard specifies the terminal's capacity to tolerate voltage differentials without experiencing electrical breakdown.

High-speed data gathering is made possible by the EL3164's quick "conversion time ~ 100 µs," which enables real-time monitoring and management of operations that change quickly. A low "measurement error/uncertainty < ±0.3% (relative to full-scale value)" ensures great data capture accuracy, which is essential for accurate control and analysis. Operating characteristics of the terminal, such as "current consumption E-bus typ. 130 mA" and "operating/storage temperature -25…+60°C/-40…+85°C," are tailored for industrial settings, guaranteeing dependable performance in a range of circumstances. "Special features" like "limit value monitoring" and "activatable FIR/IIR filters" further improve the terminal's performance and versatility for a range of applications. For further assurance and peace of mind, Wake Industrial provides a one-year guarantee on the EL3164 EtherCAT Terminal.
