Beckhoff EL3062 EtherCAT Terminal 2-Channel Analog Input Module

Description

Processing analog voltage signals from field devices to higher-level controllers, the Beckhoff EL3062 EtherCAT Terminal features two single-ended analog inputs. Designed for reliable signal transmission, the module processes standard industrial signals in the 0 to 10 V range with a resolution of 12 bits. The input circuitry is electrically isolated from the E-bus up to 500 V, protecting sensitive control electronics from field-level electrical noise. Built-in configurable software filters (FIR/IIR) and integrated limit value monitoring allow engineers to optimize signal quality and diagnostic responses directly at the I/O level.

Features

• Two single-ended analog inputs designed for 0 to 10 V voltage signals.
• 12-bit resolution with standard 16-bit presentation including sign representation.
• Integrated software-configurable FIR and IIR filters for high-precision signal conditioning.
• Active limit value monitoring for immediate field-level error and threshold detection.
• Electrical isolation of up to 500 V between the E-bus and the analog signal voltage.
• Compact 12 mm housing width supporting dense side-by-side DIN rail mounting.
• Status LEDs showing real-time operational state and diagnostic feedback.

Applications

• Process technology and industrial control systems requiring precise 0 to 10 V sensor interfacing.
• Factory automation, machinery manufacturing, and assembly line tracking.
• HVAC, climate control, and environmental monitoring systems.
• General packaging and material handling applications utilizing pressure, flow, or position transmitters.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount horizontally or vertically on standard 35 mm DIN rails conforming to EN 60715 using the integrated locking mechanism.
• Wiring Connection: Utilize spring actuation terminals. Strip solid or stranded wire to 8 to 9 mm.
• Wire Cross-Sections:
  • Solid wire: 0.08 to 2.5 mm² (AWG 28 to 14)
