EL3318 | Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal

The EL3318 analog input terminal allows eight thermocouples to be connected directly and is thus particularly suitable for space-saving use in control cabinets. The EtherCAT Terminal circuit can operate thermocouple sensors using the 2-wire technique. A microprocessor handles linearization across the whole temperature range, which is freely selectable. The error LEDs indicate a broken wire. Compensation for the cold junction is made through an internal temperature measurement at the terminal. The EL3318 can also be used for mV measurement.The HD EtherCAT Terminals (High Density) with increased packing density feature 16 connection points in the housing of a 12 mm terminal block.
