ELM3504-0000
The Beckhoff ELM3504-0000 EtherCAT terminal from Beckhoff belongs to the ELM EtherCAT Terminals series. This 4-channel analog input module offers 24-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 1–10 ksps. Designed for measuring bridge evaluation, it supports full, half and quarter bridge configurations with a differential input range of 0–10 V. It serves as a precise interface for industrial data acquisition and high-accuracy process monitoring.
With simultaneous sampling across four channels and conversion times below 1 ms, the ELM3504-0000 ensures synchronized measurement of strain gauges, RTDs (Pt100/Pt1000, KTY) and potentiometers. The module’s high resolution of 24 bit and measurement error under 0.1 % deliver exceptional accuracy. Internally switchable supplementary resistors and integrated feed simplify sensor wiring, while the XFC (eXtreme Fast Control) technology, True RMS computation and free numeric filter enable reliable signal processing under dynamic load conditions and complex non-linear scaling.
The direct plug-in push-in connection supports 2–6-wire configurations and complies with UL approvals, facilitating quick installation on a 30 mm DIN rail per EN 60715 standard. Housed in a zinc die-cast enclosure, it dissipates heat via natural convection, enhancing durability in harsh environments. Additional features include peak hold and an extended input range up to 107 %. The UL-approved ELM3504-0000 combines compatibility, efficiency and precision, optimizing industrial automation and ensuring reliable performance in demanding control systems.
