ELM Series EtherCAT Measurement Terminals
Description
ELM Series EtherCAT measurement technology modules directly integrate into the modular EtherCAT I/O system and can be seamlessly combined with the firm’s extensive portfolio of more than 500 EtherCAT Terminals.
The series features metal housings that optimize shielding and cooling in measurement technology applications. At the same time, the housings provide enhanced flexibility at the interface level, such as for LEMO or BNC plug connectors or for the well-established cage clamps as a quickly customizable and standard solution.
Two series are available: Multifunction channels with numerous integrated measuring ranges (30V to 20 mV, ±20 mA, full/half/quarter bridge, strain gauge, IEPE, thermocouple, RTD) as well as functionally reduced versions with different numbers of channels are available in the basic ELM3x0x series, with high sample rates of 10 kSps and more.
Specs
- plug-in compatible with standard EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx, ESxxxx, ELXxxxx) in a terminal segment on the DIN rail
- up to 50,000 samples per second per channel
- simultaneous acquisition of channels in the basic series, also cross-terminal through distributed clocks synchronization
- adjusted to a high measurement accuracy of ±0.01 % (100 ppm) and less, depending on the terminal and measuring range
- sturdy metal housing for perfect heat dissipation and shielding of interference
- available with different plug front ends: LEMO, BNC, and push-in
- pre-treated in the Beckhoff production for stable measurement results in long-term use
- integrated connection and function diagnostics
- Extensive mathematical functions can be activated in the terminals.
- optionally with calibration certificate (factory, ISO 17025 or DAkkS) depending on the type
