Introduction
HD EtherCAT Terminal, 5-channel input, potentiometer analysis with sensor supply
The EL3255 EtherCAT Terminal enables potentiometers to be connected directly. A stabilized power supply in the terminal for the connected potentiometers and ratiometric measurement of the input voltage offer the prerequisites for precise measuring. On account of its high sampling rate and together with potentiometer position encoders, the compact, 5-channel EtherCAT terminal represents an economical position detector.
The EL3255 diagnostics detect broken wire, loss of supply voltage and short-circuit for each channel.
The 5 channels are measured simultaneously (at the same time).
The HD EtherCAT Terminals (High Density) with increased packing density are equipped with 16 connection points in the housing of a 12-mm terminal block.
