Product Description:
The EL3214-0090 is an Analog input terminal from Beckhoff that is used to connect resistance sensors directly to systems that control things. Beckhoff is known for its automation technology and EtherCAT solutions, which make it easy to connect field devices in a way that works well and is adjustable.
The EL3214-0090 analog input terminal features 4 analog input channels that enable the connection of sensors such as the Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000, Ni100, Ni120, Ni1000, and KTY types. Additionally, resistance devices such as potentiometers with a range of 10 Ω to 1.2/4 kΩ may be connected. The terminal works with both two-wire and three-wire connections, but three-wire is the usual setting. The current measure is less than 0.5 mA and depends on the load. The conversion time is about 170 ms per channel. Ni sensors can measure from -60°C to +250°C and Pt sensors from -200°C to +850°C. The precision of each digit is 0.1°C. When Pt sensors are configured in a 4 x 3 layout, the temperature deviation is less than 0.5°C. Ensures the device operates safely by providing 500 V of electrical separation between the signal voltage and the E-bus at the input terminal. TwinSAFE SC technology, an integrated digital filter, limit value tracking, and variable connection technology for flexible installation are some of the other features.
The EL3214-0090 input terminal is protected by a high-density polycarbonate case that has signal LEDs that show the state. The 12 mm width, 100 mm height, and 68 mm depth make it easy to place in a small space on a DIN rail. Labeling options are built in, and the design allows both direct plug-in for solid conductors and spring actuation for fine-stranded wires. The terminal can be used in industrial control systems that need accurate and dependable analog input to measure resistance and temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL3214-0090:
Q: Why does EL3214-0090 support both 2-wire and 3-wire?
A: The input terminal allows flexible sensor connection that accommodates different wiring standards. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of resistance sensors.
Q: Does EL3214-0090 offer electrical isolation for safety?
A: Yes, the input terminal provides 500 V electrical isolation between the E-bus and signal voltage. This enhances operational safety in automation systems.
Q: Why is the measuring current of EL3214-0090 below 0.5 mA?
A: A measuring current below 0.5 mA minimizes sensor self-heating. This helps maintain accurate resistance and temperature readings.
Q: How does EL3214-0090 indicate measurement status?
A: The terminal uses signal LEDs and status bits in the EtherCAT process image. This provides immediate visual and digital feedback.
Q: Why does EL3214-0090 have a conversion time of 170 ms?
A: A conversion time of 170 ms balances measurement speed and accuracy. It ensures stable and reliable analog input data.
