Four new EtherCAT Terminals for multi-channel measuring bridge detection with integrated power supply.
EtherCAT Terminals
The EtherCAT Terminal system provides a comprehensive range of products for all signals in the world of automation.
EL3361 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel analog input, measuring bridge, full bridge, 24 bit, sensor supply 5/10 V DC, with 1 x digital input, 1 x digital output
The EL3361 analog input terminal enables the direct connection of a resistor bridge (strain gauge) or a load cell using a 4-wire or 6-wire connection technique. It processes the ratio of the bridge voltage UD to the supply voltage UREF and outputs the final load value as a process value based on the terminal settings. This enables precise recording of weights, torques, and vibrations with a sampling rate of 10,000 samples per second.
EL3361-0100 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel analog input, measuring bridge, full bridge, 24 bit, sensor supply 10 V DC
The EL3361-0100 analog input terminal enables the direct connection of a resistor bridge (strain gauge) or a load cell using a 4-wire or 6-wire connection technique. It processes the ratio of the bridge voltage UD to the supply voltage UREF and outputs the final load value as a process value based on the terminal settings. This enables precise recording of weights, torques, and vibrations with a sampling rate of 10,000 samples per second. The integrated bridge supply is generated from the 24 V of the power contacts.
EL3362-0100 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input, measuring bridge, full bridge, 24 bit, sensor supply 10 V DC
The EL3362-0100 analog input terminal enables the direct connection of resistance bridges (strain gauges) or load cells using the 4-wire or 6-wire terminating system. It processes the ratio of the bridge voltage UD to the supply voltage UREF and outputs the final load value as a process value based on the terminal settings. This enables precise recording of weights, torques, and vibrations with a sampling rate of 10,000 samples per second. The integrated bridge supply is generated from the 24 V of the power contacts.
EL3362 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input, measuring bridge, full bridge, 24 bit, sensor supply 5/10 V DC, with 2 x digital combi
The EL3362 analog input terminal enables the direct connection of resistor bridges (strain gauges) or load cells using the 4-wire or 6-wire connection technique. It processes the ratio of the bridge voltage UD to the supply voltage UREF and outputs the final load value as a process value based on the terminal settings. This enables precise recording of weights, torques, and vibrations with a sampling rate of 10,000 samples per second.
