It is designed to be used with their Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for industrial automation applications.
Key features of the Beckhoff EL3202 module include:
Two digital inputs: The module offers two channels for connecting digital signals. Each channel can be configured for different input types, such as 24V DC or 5V DC signals.
Fast response time: The module supports high-speed input signals with a response time of 100 µs for each channel. This makes it suitable for applications that require fast and precise signal detection.
Diagnostic LEDs: The EL3202 module is equipped with diagnostic LEDs that provide visual status indication for the input channels. This allows for quick troubleshooting and monitoring of the module's operation.
EtherCAT connectivity: The EL3202 module is part of Beckhoff's EtherCAT Terminal system, which uses the EtherCAT communication protocol for real-time data exchange between the PLC and the module. This enables seamless integration into EtherCAT-based control systems.
Compact design: The module is compact in size, allowing for easy installation and integration into control cabinets or distributed I/O systems.
