The EtherCAT Terminals from the EL/ED3xxx, ES3xxx, ELM3xxx, ELX3xxx

and EM3xxx series process the most diverse analog signals. 

The typical standard signals encountered in the automation industry, such

as 0 to 10 V, ±10 V, 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA, are supported and pre-

processed along with other measured variables such as resistance,

pressure or temperature. The product portfolio additionally includes analog

EtherCAT Terminals for the connection and evaluation of special sensors

such as strain gauges, thermocouples, resistance thermometers and

accelerometers. Special analog EtherCAT Terminals are also available for

measurement tasks in energy and power measurement.

Beckhoff offers the right product for every application in its product

portfolio of analog EtherCAT input terminals. Due to a comprehensive

selection of terminals with different numbers of channels, resolutions

and measuring accuracies, the right product is available for every

application, from simple industrial applications to high-precision

measurement technology. There are also different product categories for

some application areas. For example, the analog input terminals from the

ELX3xxx series are specially designed for potentially explosive atmospheres

and the products from the ELM3xxx series with their low measurement

uncertainty are especially designed for measurement applications with

high requirements.
