Description

The EL3061 is a 1-channel analog input terminal designed for the processing of standard 0…10 V signals within an EtherCAT automation network. This terminal features 12-bit resolution and utilizes single-ended technology to interface with various industrial sensors. It is highly configurable, offering activatable FIR and IIR filters as well as integrated limit value monitoring to ensure precise signal processing. The module is engineered for robustness, with 500 V electrical isolation between the E-bus and signal voltage, and is housed in a compact 12 mm terminal block. It supports pluggable wiring (ESxxxx compatibility) and is suitable for use in hazardous areas, carrying ATEX certification for Zone 2.

Features

  • 1-channel analog input (single-ended)
  • Voltage signal processing: 0…10 V
  • 12-bit resolution (16-bit presentation including sign)
  • Integrated signal diagnostics with limit value monitoring
  • Programmable FIR/IIR filters for signal conditioning
  • Compact 12 mm terminal design with signal LEDs
  • 500 V electrical isolation (E-bus/signal voltage)
  • ATEX certified (II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc)

Applications

  • Precision voltage signal acquisition from industrial transducers
  • Process control monitoring (e.g., pressure, flow, or level transmitters)
  • High-speed analog data logging via EtherCAT
  • Distributed sensor integration in hazardous environments

Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting: Secure the EL3061 onto a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Use the integrated double slot and key connection for reliable side-by-side assembly with other terminals.
  • Wiring: The terminal supports solid, stranded, and ferrule-terminated wires (0.08…2.5 mm²). Use a screwdriver for spring actuation; ensure an 8…9 mm stripping length for optimal contact.
  • Signal Integrity: Given the single-ended nature of the input, ensure all signal grounds are referenced correctly to avoid ground loops and common-mode noise.
  • Configuration: Utilize the EtherCAT master configuration tools (e.g., TwinCAT System Manager) to adjust the conversion time and activate the FIR/IIR filters as required for your specific signal noise profile.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE, UL
  • ATEX: II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc

FAQ

What does 'single-ended' mean for the EL3061 input?

A single-ended input measures the voltage between the signal line and a common reference ground, as opposed to measuring the difference between two signal lines (differential).

Can the input filter be adjusted?

Yes, the EL3061 supports activatable FIR and IIR filters that can be configured through the EtherCAT master to suppress signal noise.

Is the EL3061 suitable for hazardous locations?

Yes, it is ATEX certified (II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc), allowing for installation in areas classified as Zone 2.

What is the maximum voltage the input can withstand before damage?

The terminal has a dielectric strength of 30 V; exceeding this voltage may result in permanent damage to the input circuitry.
