Description

The EL3201 is a high-precision 1-channel analog input terminal by Beckhoff designed for industrial temperature measurement. It supports a wide array of RTD sensors, including Pt and Ni types, as well as general resistance measurements. The module offers flexible connection technologies, supporting 2-, 3-, and 4-wire configurations to ensure accurate readings by compensating for lead resistance. With a resolution of 0.1 degC per digit and a robust digital filter, the EL3201 provides reliable thermal data for complex EtherCAT control systems.

Features

  • 1-channel RTD input with support for Pt and Ni sensors
  • Flexible 2-, 3-, and 4-wire connection technologies
  • High resolution of 0.1 degC per digit
  • Integrated digital filtering and limit value monitoring
  • Electrical isolation of 500 V between E-bus and signal voltage
  • Compact, DIN rail-mountable housing with status LEDs
