Product Description:

The Beckhoff EL3104 is a digital Ethercat terminal capable of making accurate voltage measurements. It belongs to the EL Ethercat Terminals series. It has four differential inputs; the input signal voltage ranges from -10V to +10V, and it is suitable for signal generation in sensors and high-voltage automated devices in industrial processes. The EtherCAT connection is done through E-bus, which also provides high power and enables high-speed data transfer in the Ethercat network. It has a 16-bit binary output, and the measurement error does not exceed ~0.3% of the full-scale value to provide accurate data in real-time signal processing.

The EL3104 has an input filter limit frequency of up to 5 kHz. This frequency ensures that it can provide a quick response to changing input signals. This balance between speed and accuracy is important because the signals are likely to change with changes in dynamic environments. It also offers 1 us distributed clock precision and provides configurable bit rates that ensure the accuracy of time-sensitive control systems. All network control devices work together smoothly, showing that the system is highly reliable.

The internal resistance of the EL3104 is more than 200 k?, and this feature improves the accuracy of input signals. High input resistance also means that the module does not need a lot of input current to operate. It does not interfere with the quality of the voltage input and output. Furthermore, the common-mode voltage (Ucm) of up 35V with ground contact ensures the steady operation of the devices in case of voltage differences between channels or wiring. The EL3104 operates in a wide temperature range of -25 degrees C to +60 degrees C, making it rugged, compact and highly accurate for use in contemporary industrial automation applications.
