Beckhoff: EL336x | EL336x-0100 Optimized Weighing Technology

The new EL336x and EL336x-0100 series of weighing technology terminals can be used to directly connect resistance bridges (strain gages) or load cells. 24-bit resolution, a 10-ksps sampling rate, and full bridge support enable precise recording of weight, strain, or torque. Integrated voltage generation from the terminal power contacts is used to supply the bridge directly and can be varied between 5 V and 10 V. The basic EL336x variant of the two terminals also has a combined digital input/output for each channel, which can be used for other functions such as local control of the output directly dependent on the analog value at the input.
