The EL3362 analog input terminal enables the direct connection of resistor bridges (strain gauges) or load cells using the 4-wire or 6-wire connection technique. It processes the ratio of the bridge voltage UBridge to the supply voltage USense and outputs the final load value as a process value based on the terminal settings. This enables precise recording of weights, torques, and vibrations with a sampling rate of 10,000 samples per second.
The integrated bridge supply is generated from the 24 V of the power contacts, with a choice between 5 V and 10 V DC in the configuration.
The terminal also has a combined digital input/output per channel; the function for the digital connection point must be specified in the configuration. The digital input can be used for functions such as taring. The digital output can be switched on the basis of local evaluations in the terminal depending on the measured value of the resistance bridge.
