Each channel measures voltages from 0 to 10 V with a 16-bit resolution and transmits the digitized values to the control system through the EtherCAT network. The terminal features a common ground reference for both inputs and provides 500 V electrical isolation between the field and the E-bus, ensuring signal integrity and operator safety. Distributed clock functionality enables synchronous data acquisition across multiple terminals, supporting deterministic system performance. In addition, integrated FIR/IIR filters and limit value monitoring enhance noise suppression and safety during signal processing. Compact and reliable, the EL3162 is well-suited for monitoring sensors, control voltages, and analog feedback in precision automation applications. Key Features: Dual Analog Inputs: Two single-ended channels for 0–10 V voltage measurement, ideal for simultaneous monitoring of analog sources. High-Resolution Conversion: 16-bit digital representation provides exceptional accuracy for fine signal analysis and control feedback. Fast Sampling and Response: With a conversion time of 50 µs, the terminal supports high-speed measurement applications. Electrical Isolation: 500 V isolation between the E-bus and signal voltage ensures operational safety and stable data integrity. Distributed Clock Synchronization: Enables precise timing coordination for multi-terminal measurement systems over EtherCAT networks. Advanced Filtering Options: Activatable FIR and IIR digital filters minimize noise and stabilize analog signal readings in harsh environments. Limit Value Monitoring: Built-in software thresholds provide automatic alarm or protection functions for defined voltage ranges. Compact EtherCAT Design: Seamlessly integrates into Beckhoff’s modular I/O architecture with minimal wiring and easy installation. Comprehensive Diagnostics: LED indicators per channel display live status and error conditions for straightforward maintenance. Industrial Durability: Operates reliably from -25°C to +60°C with resistance to humidity and electrical interference. The EL3162 delivers the reliability and precision required for voltage signal acquisition, monitoring, and control in EtherCAT-based automation and process control systems.
