The EL3024 is a 4-channel analog input terminal engineered by BECKHOFF for the acquisition of standard 4…20 mA industrial process signals. As an EtherCAT Terminal, it features differential inputs that ensure reliable signal transmission even in environments prone to electrical noise. With a 12-bit resolution and configurable filter settings, the EL3024 provides high-precision data acquisition suitable for process control, pressure monitoring, and flow measurement applications.

Features

  • 4-channel analog input for 4…20 mA signals
  • Differential input technology for enhanced signal integrity
  • 12-bit resolution (presented as 16-bit)
  • Fast conversion time of 0.625 ms
  • Integrated diagnostics: limit value monitoring and activatable FIR/IIR filters
  • Compact 12 mm housing for space-efficient DIN rail mounting
  • Electrical isolation of 500 V between E-bus and signal voltage

Applications

  • Process automation for current-based sensors (pressure, temperature, flow)
  • Industrial monitoring systems
  • Variable frequency drive feedback loops
  • Data acquisition in EtherCAT-based control architectures
