Beckhoff EL3312
The Beckhoff EL3312 is a 2-channel thermocouple input terminal used in industrial automation systems. It’s designed to interface with thermocouple sensors, which are commonly used for temperature measurement in industrial applications due to their robustness and reliability.
The EL3312 terminal and its key features:
- Thermocouple Input:
- The EL3312 terminal is specifically designed to interface with Type K thermocouples. Thermocouples operate on the principle that a voltage is generated.
- Measurement Range:
- This terminal supports a wide measurement range typical of Type K thermocouples, which is usually between -200°C to +1350°C
- Signal Conditioning:
- The terminal likely performs signal conditioning to convert the thermocouple voltage into a digital signal that can be read by a control system or PLC
- Software Configuration:
- Configuration of the EL3312 terminal, such as setting measurement ranges, calibration.
- The diagnostic parameters is typically done through Beckhoff’s TwinCAT software environment.
Application Areas:
The EL3312 terminal is used in various industrial applications where accurate and reliable temperature measurement is crucial. Such as in manufacturing processes, HVAC systems, and laboratory equipment. The Beckhoff EL3312 is a specialized terminal for interfacing Type K thermocouples with industrial control systems.
