Product Description:

EL3042 is an EtherCAT terminal designed for precise current input and output applications. This module features 4 channels, each capable of handling 0/4–20 mA signals, making it suitable for a variety of industrial automation tasks. Providing 16-bit resolution, the terminal ensures accurate and reliable data acquisition. One key benefit is galvanic signal isolation, which protects the system from electrical interference, ensuring stable operation. Furthermore, its design makes it easy to use in different settings, improving overall performance. This module integrates effectively through different systems, increasing the accuracy in industrial uses and allowing for smooth workflows due to comprehensive construction along the connection points.

Moving into operational details, the EL3042 requires a 24 V DC power supply delivered through the E-bus. The module consumes approximately 100 mA making it energy efficient for continuous operation during applications. The connection happen through push-in (spring-loaded) terminals, that offers a reliable and vibration-resistant connection. Channel status can be monitored easily through LED indicators, that enhances troubleshooting and reduces downtime.

Regarding environmental and physical specifications, the EL3042 is built to withstand industrial environments. It can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 55°C and can be stored within a temperature range of -25 to 85°C. The terminal is designed for DIN rail mounting, simplifying installation within control cabinets. Its compact dimensions are 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm, saving valuable space. The enclosure provides IP20 protection, ensuring that the internal components are shielded from dust and accidental contact. Because there are different setting that require consistent work environment, but this model offer wider range of temperature settings though careful engineering and planning through different environmental possibilities that can happen and consistently working even in accidental scenarios.
