EL3068 | Beckhoff Terminal, 8-Channel Analog Input

Description  The EL3068 EtherCAT Terminal features eight channels for processing voltage signals within the 0 to 10 V range. Each channel digitizes voltage inputs with a resolution of 12 bits and transmits them in an electrically isolated manner to the higher-level automation system. This terminal consolidates all eight channels into a single housing, with power contacts routed accordingly. The 0 V power contact serves as the reference ground connection for all inputs, ensuring consistent signal integrity.     Technical Specifications  Part Number EL3068   Category   PLCs / Machine Control   Subcategory   PLC Programming Terminal   Number of inputs   8 ( single-ended )   Power supply   via the E- bus   Signal voltage   0…10 V   Distributed clocks   –   Internal resistance   > 130 kΩ   Input filter limit frequency   1 kHz   Dielectric strength   max . 30 V   Conversion time   1.25 ms default setting , configurable , multiplex   Resolution   12 bit (16 bit presentation incl . sign )   Measurement error / uncertainty   < ±0.3% ( relative to full scale value )   Electrical isolation   500 V (E- bus / signal voltage )   Current consumption E- bus   typ . 130 mA   Bit width in the process image   inputs : 32 byte   Special features   activatable FIR/IIR filters , limit value monitoring   Operating / storage temperature   -25…+60°C/-40…+85°C   Weight   approx . 60 g   Relative humidity   95%, no condensation   Vibration / shock resistance   conforms to EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27   EMC immunity / emission   conforms to EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4   Protect . rating / installation pos .   IP20/ variable       Information About EL3068 The EL3068 EtherCAT Terminal is designed for processing analog signals within a voltage range of 0 to 10 V. Each of its eight channels operates in a single-ended configuration , digitizing input voltages with a high-resolution of 12 bits . This ensures precise measurement and transmission of analog data to the connected higher-level automation system , all while maintaining electrical isolation .   Physically consolidated into a single housing , the EL3068 integrates power contacts that facilitate efficient signal transmission . The terminal utilizes the 0 V power contact as the reference ground connection for its inputs , ensuring consistent and reliable signal processing across all channels . Operational status and signal activity are visually indicated by integrated light emitting diodes ( LEDs ), enhancing monitoring capabilities during deployment and operation .   Key specifications include a maximum internal resistance of over 130 kΩ , ensuring minimal interference and robust signal integrity . The terminal incorporates an input filter with a limit frequency of 1 kHz , supporting effective noise reduction and signal stability in industrial environments . It offers a conversion time of 1.25 ms as a default setting , configurable for multiplex operation to suit varied application requirements .
