Beckhoff EL3483-0060 | EtherCAT Terminal, 3-channel analog input, mains monitor

The EL3483 EtherCAT Terminal enables the monitoring of relevant electrical

data of the supply network. The voltage is measured internally via direct

connection of L1. L2. L3 and N. The internal measured values are compared

with threshold values preset by the user. The result is available as digital

information in the process image. The EL3483 checks for the correct phase

order L1. L2. L3. phase failure, undervoltage and overvoltage, and possible

phase asymmetry. An error bit is set in the case of an incorrect phase order

or the failure of a phase. Should, for example, an asymmetry or voltage error

occur, only a warning bit is set initially. In addition, an internally calculated

mains quality factor provides information about the quality of the monitored

voltage supply. The EL3483 offers basic functionality for mains monitoring

and analysis.

The EL3453-0100 EtherCAT power measurement terminal has voltage

inputs for up to 130 V AC for connecting voltage transducers, enabling

the monitoring of medium-voltage systems, for example.

The four current inputs are electrically isolated so that the terminal

can be used in all common grounded current transformer configurations

such as 2- or 3-transformer configurations with star or delta connection

incl. neutral conductor current measurement. The EL3453-0100 can be

used for simple grid analysis up to the 63rd harmonics analysis.

Alternatively, all readings can be combined in a power quality factor

for simplified diagnostics. Like all measured terminal data, the harmonic

content can be read via the process data. The EL3453-0100 offers the

“ExtendedRange” feature enabling the use of the full technical measuring

range, which equals 130% of the specified nominal measuring range.

In addition, the EL3453-0100 comes with the option of transmitting the

times of the last voltage and current zero crossing to thecontroller via

XFC technology. This can be used, for example, to carry out switching

operations to suit the application.

The EL3453 EtherCAT power measurement terminal has voltage

inputs for direct monitoring of high-capacity generators up to max.

690 V AC, as is common in the wind industry, for example.
