Product Description:
Beckhoff's EL3202 is an advanced component of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), more especially platinum-based Pt100 sensors, which are intended for accurate temperature monitoring in industrial automation, are interfaced with this 2-channel analog input terminal. The temperature coefficient of resistance is the predicted change in electrical resistance that these sensors show with temperature changes. This idea is used by the EL3202 to provide precise temperature measurements. The EL3202's 16-bit resolution—which translates to a temperature resolution of 0.1°C per digit—is a crucial component that enables it to detect even the smallest variations in the resistance of the sensor. For applications needing strict control and precision, its high resolution guarantees accurate temperature monitoring.
By reducing the effects of electrical noise and signal fluctuations that are typical in industrial settings, the terminal's built-in digital filter improves performance even further. Even under difficult circumstances, this filtering procedure guarantees accurate and consistent temperature readings. With compatibility for both 2-wire and 3-wire setups, the EL3202 provides a versatile approach to sensor connection. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate with current systems and supports a variety of RTD configurations. The time it takes for the terminal to convert the resistance of the sensor into a digital temperature reading is around 85 milliseconds. Although this time may be changed according to the requirements of the application, the default option strikes a balance between accuracy and responsiveness.
Because of its broad operating temperature range (-25°C to +60°C), the EL3202 may be used in a variety of industrial settings. It typically draws 190 mA of electricity from the EtherCAT network's E-bus, which is the power distribution system. System efficiency is increased, and energy consumption is reduced because of this effective power consumption. The EL3202 is a useful tool in industrial automation systems where accurate temperature monitoring is crucial because of its small size, sophisticated capabilities, and strong performance. For your industrial automation requirements, Wake Industrial is happy to provide a one-year warranty on this premium Beckhoff terminal, guaranteeing peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL3202:
Q: What is the EL3202 terminal, and what is its primary function?
A: The EL3202 is a 2-channel analog input terminal by Beckhoff, part of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series. It is specifically designed to read signals from Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), like Pt100 sensors, for precise temperature measurements in industrial automation systems. Its high-resolution input of 16 bits enables it to detect very small changes in temperature, translating to a resolution of 0.1°C per digit.
Q: What are the connection options for the EL3202?
A: The EL3202 terminal offers flexible sensor connectivity, supporting both 2-wire and 3-wire configurations. By default, it uses a 2-wire setup but can be adapted to a 3-wire configuration if required. This flexibility allows it to integrate with various RTD setups, making it easier to incorporate into different industrial systems.
Q: What types of sensors does the EL3202 support?
A: The EL3202 supports multiple RTD sensor types, including Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000, and various nickel-based sensors (e.g., Ni100, Ni120, Ni1000). Additionally, it can measure resistance for devices like potentiometers and other sensors, including KTY sensors. This broad compatibility makes it versatile for temperature and resistance monitoring across different applications.
Q: How does the EL3202 handle electrical noise and signal fluctuations?
A: The EL3202 is equipped with an integrated digital filter that helps reduce the effects of electrical noise and signal fluctuations, which are common in industrial settings. This filter ensures stable and accurate readings by smoothing out unwanted noise and preserving the signal’s integrity, which is crucial for maintaining consistent temperature measurements under challenging environmental conditions.
Q: What is the typical conversion time of the EL3202, and can it be adjusted?
A: The EL3202 has a default conversion time of approximately 85 milliseconds. This is the time required to convert the RTD's resistance value into a digital temperature reading. This time can be adjusted within a range of 2 to 800 milliseconds to suit specific application needs, balancing between faster response and higher measurement accuracy.
