Beckhoff ELM3544-0000 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-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

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.
