Product Description:
The ELX3158 EtherCAT terminal is constructed by Beckhoff and functions as a dedicated interfacing and communication bridge for sensors and the control system. Beckhoff maintains its growth by delivering innovative machines due to its commitment to innovation.
The ELX3158 terminal is specialized for current input systems. It processes input signals in the range of 4 to 20 mA by covering standards for analog measurements. The module provides 8 single-ended input channels by allowing for multiple sensor or device connections within a compact form factor. Its every input follows a 2-wire connection method with a stripping length between 8 and 9 mm to ensure secure and stable wiring. Power contacts are realized through 2 blade or spring contacts by offering mechanical connection and power transmission across the terminal chain. It works with a 16-bit resolution including sign by providing precise analog-to-digital conversion of measured current values. Measurement error or uncertainty is specified at less than ±0.3% relative to the full-scale value. The terminal electronics are powered by a 24 V DC supply which is delivered via the integrated power contacts. An external ELX9560 power option can also be utilized when necessary to maintain stable operation across a larger installation.
The ELX3158 EtherCAT terminal holds current consumption through the contacts with a value of 10 mA and E-bus utilizes around 75 mA which allows synchronization tasks within the EtherCAT network. Distributed clocks functionality is included by enabling accurate timing and cycling between terminals without additional hardware needs. The terminal is suited for installations where reliable current input handling, accurate measurement and synchronized network operation are essential by contributing to consistent and predictable system performance.
