EL3014 | BECKHOFF | EtherCAT Terminal Analog Input Module

Description

The EL3014 is a 4-channel analog input terminal by Beckhoff, specifically engineered for measuring current signals in the 0…20 mA range. This module utilizes differential input technology to provide high noise immunity and signal integrity in industrial environments. Featuring a 12-bit resolution and configurable FIR/IIR filters, the EL3014 enables precise and stable signal processing for complex automation tasks. It is designed to be fully integrated into EtherCAT networks, requiring no manual address or configuration settings.

Features

• 4-channel analog input (0…20 mA current)
• Differential input technology for improved signal quality
• 12-bit resolution (16-bit internal representation)
• Configurable input filtering (FIR/IIR) for noise reduction
• Integrated limit value monitoring
• Electrical isolation of 500 V (E-bus/signal voltage)
• Compact housing with integrated status LEDs

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Secure the EL3014 onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Utilize the double slot and key connection for robust side-by-side assembly with other EtherCAT terminals.
• Wiring: The terminal uses spring-loaded connections. Strip wires (solid or flexible) to a length of 8–9 mm. Refer to the differential input wiring schematics to ensure correct signal polarity.
• Environmental: Rated IP20; install within an enclosure protected against dust and moisture. Ensure operating temperatures remain between -25 and +60 degC.
• Hazardous Areas: This terminal carries an ATEX marking (II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc). Verify compliance with local hazardous area installation requirements before integration.
