FM3312-B110-0210
The FM3312-B110-0210 from Beckhoff is a high-density thermocouple module in the FM Thermocouplers series, designed for precise temperature measurement in demanding industrial environments. This module supports 12 thermocouple channels and offers a measuring range of -10 to +900°C for Type J sensors. Utilizing the EtherCAT fieldbus protocol at a data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, it ensures rapid and deterministic communication. With a resolution of 0.1°C per digit and measurement uncertainty of ±0.5% of full scale, the FM3312-B110-0210 delivers accurate and reliable readings across its full range. Its compact design and industrial UL approval make it a robust solution for process and machine automation.
Featuring advanced technical capabilities, the FM3312-B110-0210 achieves a conversion time of approx. 250 ms per channel, allowing for near-real-time monitoring. The module accommodates both Type J thermocouples & mV inputs, providing versatility for various sensor requirements. It offers 5 configurable input filter variants to optimize signal conditioning and mitigate noise in challenging environments. The unit’s maximum cable length of 30 m enables flexible installation in large-scale systems. With a typical current consumption of 120 mA and a maximum of 150 mA, power efficiency is maintained without compromising performance.
Operational features include dual M12 D-coded, 4-pin fieldbus connections for EtherCAT IN and OUT, facilitating modular expansion and straightforward system topology. Power is supplied and daisy-chained via an M8 plug (4-pin) input and M8 socket (4-pin) output, simplifying wiring and reducing cabinet clutter. The compact module design and configurable filters enhance noise immunity, ensuring stable readings even under high electromagnetic interference. The fast conversion cycle and high channel density improve process control responsiveness, while the UL approval underlines its suitability for global industrial applications.
Integration into automation systems is seamless, thanks to its EtherCAT compatibility and standardized industrial plug-in connectors. The FM Thermocouplers series modules can be chained for scalable channel expansion, ideal for temperature profiling in machine tools, ovens, and environmental chambers. With a wide power supply voltage range of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) and rugged Han24E thermocouple connections, this module integrates easily into existing control architectures. The FM3312-B110-0210 stands out as a flexible, high-performance solution for precise temperature monitoring and control in advanced industrial automation applications.
