Product Description:

The Beckhoff ELX3152 EtherCAT Terminal serves industrial requirements by providing high-precision acquisition of 0/4–20 mA signals through its two single-ended input configurations.

It includes two single-ended input terminals that provide the capability to monitor different analog signals produced by field devices. The terminal supports 2-wire or 3-wire connection setups, which enables system operators to work with multiple types of sensors and connection systems. High-resolution input comes from the terminal's 16-bit operation to ensure accurate measurement data with detailed processing. Measurement accuracy of this device remains high because its uncertainty rating is < ±0.3% relative to the full-scale value. The device measures 100 Ω resistance and effectively supports different current sources, and its input filter operates at typical 5 kHz frequencies to minimize noise and optimize signal quality. Quick data acquisition occurs within 1 millisecond in the terminal, so it serves well for urgent applications. The ELX3152 contains distributed clock functionality, which enables synchronized communication with EtherCAT devices to support applications that need stringent timing precision between multiple channels.

The terminal receives power through 24 V DC from power contacts, which use an ELX9560 power supply to operate its electronics at typical current levels of 10 mA for power contacts and 85 mA from the E-bus for efficient operation and performance. The terminal features advanced signal processing through activatable FIR/IIR filters as well as limit value monitoring and NE43 NAMUR support for NAMUR sensor compatibility. This device provides an additional feature of standard and compact process images, which enhances both system compatibility and user experience. This compact device weighs about 60 g and is ideal for small spaces due to its small dimensions and light weight. The terminal maintains a stable waiting condition performance below ±0.3% (FS) throughout its operational life.
