ELM3146-0000 | EtherCAT Terminal, 6-channel analog input, multi-function, ±10…±1.25 V, ±20 mA, 24 bit, 1 ksps

The 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-channel ELM314x EtherCAT Terminals in the Economy line can be set to current or voltage measurement channel by channel, offering sampling rates of up to 1 ksps per channel. Analog signals in the ranges from ±1.25 to ±10 V, 0 to 10 V, ±20 mA or 0/4 to 20 mA can be processed. The settings for U or I measurement mode and the desired measuring ranges can be selected via the control system and TwinCAT in the CoE interface. Here it is also possible to select the extensive diagnostics features for unattended long-term use. The 2-, 4- or 6-pin push-in connectors can be removed for maintenance purposes; they enable a direct supply of connected sensors. The power contacts on the side simplify the potential distribution directly on the DIN rail. The typical EtherCAT features are available: distributed clocks functionality with timestamp and the familiar data features of the basic line such as filtering, true RMS calculation and more.
