Key features of the EL3102 module include:

Analog Input: Each EL3102 module has two differential or single-ended input channels for measuring analog voltages. It supports a wide range of input signal types, including voltage, current, temperature, and resistance. The module offers high-resolution measurement and supports various analog input ranges.

EtherCAT Communication: EL3102 communicates with the Beckhoff EtherCAT fieldbus system. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a high-speed industrial Ethernet protocol widely used in automation systems. It enables fast and deterministic communication between different devices in the system.

Compact Design: EL3102 is designed as a compact terminal module, allowing for easy installation and integration into a Beckhoff EtherCAT I/O system. The module can be mounted on a DIN rail or directly on a machine or control cabinet.

Integrated Diagnostics: The EL3102 module provides built-in diagnostics, enabling the monitoring of its operational status. It supports features such as channel-specific fault detection, short-circuit detection, wire breakage detection, and oversampling.

Configurability: EL3102 can be configured and programmed using Beckhoff's TwinCAT software environment. TwinCAT provides a comprehensive development environment for programming and configuring the EtherCAT system, including configuring input signal filtering, scaling, and parameterization.
