Here’s a concise breakdown of the Beckhoff EL3204 EtherCAT Terminal:

• Functionality: 4-channel analog input terminal designed for temperature measurement using RTD sensors (Pt100, Pt1000, etc.).

• Measurement Output: Can provide resistance values directly in ohms or convert them into temperature readings.

• Sensor Compatibility: Supports Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000, Ni100, Ni120, Ni1000, KTY sensors, and more.

• Connection Method: Operates with 2-wire technology.

• Conversion Time: Default setting is 85 ms, configurable between 2–800 ms.

• Temperature Range: Measures -200°C to +850°C for Pt sensors and -60°C to +250°C for Ni sensors.

• Resolution: 0.1°C per digit.

• Measurement Error: Less than ±0.5°C for Pt sensors.

• Electrical Isolation: 500 V (E-bus/signal voltage).

• Current Consumption: 190 mA via E-bus.

• Special Features: Integrated digital filter, limit value monitoring, and status LEDs for measurement indication.

• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +60°C.

• Protection Rating: IP20.

• Approvals: CE, CCC, UL, ATEX, IECEx, cFMus.
