Product Description:

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL3204-0000 is a highly effective answer to input signal processing for temperature sensors. It is an EtherCAT Terminal of the EL series and is equipped for four inputs with support for sensors of Pt100 and Ni1000, which are widely used in industrial automation for the measurement of temperature. This terminal is particularly advantageous when used in applications that demand high speed, and accurate signal processing due to its built-in digital filter. The filter has an input frequency limit of 1kHz to remove most of the noise and other unwanted signals so as to give cleaner data. This terminal employs a 2-wire connection system that is very easy to install but very effective at the same time.

The power supply for the EL3204-0000 is through the E-bus: it needs no additional power supply; therefore, the overall system is quite easy to set up. The terminal itself is small and lightweight, weighing about 60 grams meaning that it can easily be fitted in small control panels. Regarding compliance and dependability, the EL3204-0000 can meet EMC norms for immunity EN 61000-6-2 standard and emission EN 61000-6-4 standard, which always stabilizes the computer when there is electric disturbance. This makes it suitable for industrial applications where problems of electromagnetic interference (EMI) may arise.

Beckhoff EL3204-0000 is a highly valuable terminal for temperature measurement as it is very suitable for versatile usage and offers the user a high performance when it comes to the processing of multiple temperature signals. Together with EtherCAT system it is possible to regulate interaction of the robot and exchange data in real-time mode.
