The Beckhoff EL3356 is an EtherCAT Terminal designed for precise measurement applications. Here are its key features :

• Analog Input Terminal: Supports 1-channel input for measuring resistor bridges or load cells.

• High Precision Measurement: Determines the ratio between bridge voltage (U D) and supply voltage (U REF) for accurate load calculations.

• Automatic Self-Calibration: Ensures consistent measurement accuracy (can be deactivated).

• Dynamic Filters: Helps in slow weighings with high precision.

• Fast Measuring Cycles: 10 ms cycle time for standard EL3356; 100 µs for high-precision variants.

• High Resolution: 16-bit resolution for EL3356; 24-bit for high-precision models.

• Tare Function: Allows zeroing of measurements for better accuracy.

• Synchronization via Distributed Clocks: Available in high-precision variants.

• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +55°C.

• Compact Design: 12 mm width, DIN rail mountable.
