EL3011
The Beckhoff EL3011 from the EL EtherCAT Terminals series is a high-precision analog voltage input terminal designed for industrial automation. With a conversion time of 1 ms and a resolution of 16-bit, it accurately captures voltage signals within the range of -10 V...+10 V. Powered directly via the E-bus, this single-channel terminal mounts securely on a DIN rail. Its primary function is to digitize analog voltage inputs and deliver reliable data to EtherCAT-based control systems.
Featuring robust technical design, the EL3011 draws a typical 115 mA of current from the E-bus and operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C. The compact dimensions of 12 mm (W) x 100 mm (H) x 68 mm (D) save valuable panel space while providing a single input channel for precise signal acquisition. With a protection class IP20 rating, it offers basic protection against solid objects and finger contact. Its permissible humidity of 95% (no condensation) ensures functionality in high-humidity environments.
Engineered for compatibility and durability, the EL3011 integrates seamlessly into existing Beckhoff EtherCAT installations. Its DIN rail mounting and low profile simplify retrofits and new-build applications alike. Operational reliability is assured by stable power supplied over the E-bus and by compliance with IP20 protection. The terminal’s precision, fast conversion speed, and sturdy design make it an ideal choice for industrial processes requiring accurate analog voltage monitoring, efficient data conversion, and long-term operational stability.
