BECKHOFF EL3064 EtherCAT Terminal

The EL3064 is a 4-channel analog input terminal designed for the acquisition of 0–10 V voltage signals in industrial automation systems. As an EtherCAT Terminal, it provides high-precision data conversion using 12-bit resolution. Featuring single-ended input technology, the EL3064 is an efficient and cost-effective choice for standard voltage monitoring tasks, such as reading output signals from sensors, potentiometers, or other analog controllers.

Features

• 4-channel analog input for 0–10 V signals
• Single-ended input technology
• High-speed data acquisition with 0.625 ms conversion time
• 12-bit resolution (represented as 16-bit values)
• Integrated diagnostic functions: limit value monitoring and configurable FIR/IIR filters
• Compact 12 mm housing, optimized for DIN rail mounting
• Electrical isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and signal voltage

Applications

• Analog voltage signal acquisition (e.g., from transducers or sensors)
• Potentiometer position monitoring
• Integration of voltage-based field devices into EtherCAT networks
• Industrial process monitoring and data logging

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mount the module on a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) and secure it with the integrated lock.
• Use the double slot and key connection for stable, side-by-side assembly with other EtherCAT terminals.
• Connect wiring using spring-actuated terminals; supports solid (e) and flexible (f) conductors with a stripping length of 8–9 mm.
• Ensure all wiring adheres to the EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4) to ensure the accuracy of the 0–10 V signal acquisition.
• The terminal is suitable for operation in environments ranging from -25 to +60 degC.
