EL3068 | Beckhoff Terminal, 8-Channel Analog Input
BECKHOFF · HMIs & Displays
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.

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 .
