The EL3204 analog input terminal allows up to 4 resistance sensors like PT100 and PT1000 sensors to be connected directly. It handles linearization of the sensor signals over their full temperature range and indicates sensor errors with LEDs. It has a resolution of 0.1°C, measures in a range of -200°C to +850°C, and samples the inputs around every 85ms. The terminal provides electrical isolation of 500V and is suitable for applications requiring vibration and EMC robustness.

EL3204 | 4-channel input terminal PT100 (RTD)
The EL3204 analog input terminal allows resistance sensors to be connected directly. The EtherCAT Terminal circuit can operate sensors using the 2-wire technique. A microprocessor handles linearisation across the whole temperature range, which is freely selectable. The EtherCAT Terminal’s standard settings are: resolution 0.1 °C in the temperature range of PT100 sensors. Sensor malfunctions such as broken wires are indicated by error LEDs.
