Beckhoff ELM3542-0000 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input, measuring bridge

The ELM3542 and ELM3544 EtherCAT Terminals from the ELM3x4x

economy series are designed for the evaluation of measuring bridges

in full bridge, half bridge and quarter bridge configuration.

With a maximum data rate of 1 ksps per channel they are ideally

suited for the recording of less dynamic procedures, such as slow

oscillations and corresponding weighing procedures. In return, they

measure with extremely low noise and are temperature-stable up

to an ambient temperature of 60°C.

The integrated bridge supply can supply 1 to 12 V and, like all other

parameters, is adjustable online in the CoE at runtime.

In addition, the ELM3542 features a connection for one TEDS-IC in

the sensor per channel – this way the SG can be electronically read,

detected and also written immediately upon plugging in.

Apart from that, the ELM354x have all the features familiar from the

fast ELM350x basic series, such as internally switchable extension

resistors and comprehensive sensor and function diagnostics for

industrial 24/7 operation.

The 6-pin connector (push-in) is removable for maintenance

purposes without releasing the individual wires.

Extensive documentation is available from Beckhoff sales, support

or measurement@beckhoff.com.

This ELM3xxx series measurement terminal enables efficient

implementation of complex system-integrated data acquisition

systems (DAQ) that place high demands on measurement accuracy

and time synchronization.
