For users requiring easy maintenance and rapid component replacement, the \u003cstrong\u003eES3052\u003c\/strong\u003e variant is available, offering the same specifications with the added benefit of pluggable wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\"\u003eEL3052 (ES3052 with pluggable wiring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\"\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\"\u003eChannels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\"\u003e2 (Single-ended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\"\u003eSignal Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\"\u003e4–20 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"6\"\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"6\"\u003e12 bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"7\"\u003eConversion Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"7\"\u003e0.625 ms (Configurable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"8\"\u003eMeasuring Error\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"8\"\u003e\u0026lt; ±0.3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"9\"\u003eIsolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"9\"\u003e500 V (E-bus\/Signal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"10\"\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"10\"\u003e-25 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"11\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"11\"\u003e12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"12\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"12\"\u003e60 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the functional difference between the EL3052 and ES3052?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical specifications are identical.
