Product Description:

The EL3154 EL EtherCAT Terminal is manufactured by Beckhoff that is a global supplier of automation and control technology. It is designed for high-precision analog signal acquisition in compact systems. The terminal integrates seamlessly into EtherCAT networks ensuring reliable and synchronized data transfer across various industrial applications.

The EL3154 EL EtherCAT Terminal features four single-ended analog inputs for measuring signal currents between 4 and 20 mA. It supports distributed clocks that enables accurate time-stamping and synchronized signal acquisition. The internal resistance is typically 85 Ω plus diode voltage to ensure stable measurement conditions. An input filter limits the frequency to 5 kHz and minimizes signal noise. The dielectric strength of the terminal is rated up to 30 V which ensures reliable insulation between channels. Its high-resolution 16-bit measurement system including the sign ensures precise analog signal conversion. The measurement uncertainty remains within ±0.3% relative to the full-scale value. The EL3154 EL EtherCAT Terminal consumes approximately 130 mA from the E-bus and maintains low energy consumption. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, and it can be stored at temperatures between -40°C and +85°C. The EL3154 complies with CE, CCC, UL, ATEX, IECEx and cFMus standards that guarantee its suitability for global industrial applications.

The EL3154 EL EtherCAT Terminal offers IP20 protection rating and allows flexible installation positions for versatile system integration. It is designed to handle industrial conditions with reliable performance and measurement stability. The 4–20 mA current signal acquisition is ideal for many industrial sensors and transmitters. Its compact housing and high accuracy make it suitable for demanding control systems. The Terminal’s communication protocol ensures fast and synchronized data exchange and enhances overall system performance and precision.
