EL3162

Product Description:

The EL3162 is an EtherCAT Terminal from the EL EtherCAT Terminals series, which is a high-performance terminal with analog inputs. It is designed with high accuracy and speed for measuring analog signals, hence suitable for different types of automation units. This terminal has two channels with single-ended inputs, and its signal voltage range is 0 to 10 volts. This terminal has a 16-bit sign resolution and a conversion time of about 50 microseconds. It also features distributed clocks in the terminal so that the operation of the different devices can be synchronized. Its distinguishing features include FIR/IIR filtering that enhances signal quality.

The EL3162 terminal has an internal resistance greater than 200 k?. This high resistance also ensures that the input channels work with a limited current, and its isolation feature isolates the voltage sources to measure the voltage input accurately. It also improves the performance of the attached sensor or the device, and thus makes the terminal useful for precise measurements. High internal resistance is crucial when the input signals are weak, so it does not allow signal loading and thus improves the measurement accuracy.

Another important characteristic of this terminal is its dielectric strength, which is 30 V. This means that the EL3162 is protected from voltage spikes, and it works with a voltage rating of 30 volts. It also has an insulation factor that helps in the protection of the terminal and the device connected to it from over-voltage. This makes the EL3162 suitable for use in industries where fluctuations of voltage inputs are common. With these safety and performance features, the EL3162 terminal ensures a reliable performance in challenging automation tasks.
