The 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-channel ELM314x EtherCAT Terminals in the Economy

line can be set to current or voltage measurement channel by channel,

offering sampling rates of up to 1 ksps per channel.

Analog signals in the ranges from ±1.25 to ±10 V, 0 to 10 V, ±20 mA

or 0/4 to 20 mA can be processed. The settings for U or I measurement

mode and the desired measuring ranges can be selected via the control

system and TwinCAT in the CoE interface. Here it is also possible to

select the extensive diagnostics features for unattended long-term use.

The 2-, 4- or 6-pin push-in connectors can be removed for maintenance

purposes; they enable a direct supply of connected sensors.

The power contacts on the side simplify the potential distribution directly

on the DIN rail.

The typical EtherCAT features are available: distributed clocks functionality

with timestamp and the familiar data features of the basic line such as

filtering, true RMS calculation and more.

Extensive documentation is available from Beckhoff sales, support or

This ELM3xxx series measurement terminal enables efficient implementation

of complex system-integrated data acquisition systems (DAQ) that place

high demands on measurement accuracy and time synchronization.
