It is designed to provide 4 channels of digital input signals to the Beckhoff PLC system.
Key features of the EL3204 module include:
High-Speed Inputs: The EL3204 supports fast switching digital inputs with a signaling frequency of up to 100 kHz per channel. It allows for precise detection and monitoring of fast-changing digital signals.
24 VDC Signal Level: The inputs of the EL3204 module are compatible with 24 VDC signal levels commonly used in industrial automation applications. Each input channel can be connected to a 24 VDC potential, allowing for easy integration with a wide range of devices.
Compact Design: The EL3204 module comes in a compact form factor, occupying only a single slot in the Beckhoff PLC system. This allows for efficient use of space and easy installation within control cabinets.
Diagnostic and Status LEDs: The module features diagnostic LEDs for each input channel, providing visual indication of the input status. This helps in troubleshooting and monitoring the state of the connected devices.
EtherCAT Communication: The EL3204 module is based on the EtherCAT communication protocol, which ensures fast and reliable data exchange between the module and the Beckhoff PLC system. This allows for seamless integration into EtherCAT networks.
