• Beckhoff Traceability Number, or BTN for short (as a serial number it clearly identifies each terminal) Date code The date code is an eight-digit number given by Beckhoff and printed on the ELX terminal. The date code indicates the build version in the delivery state and thus identifies an entire production batch, but does not distinguish between the terminals in a batch.
01 - firmware version 01 00 - hardware version 00 Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN) In addition, each ELX terminal has a unique Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN). Ex marking The Ex marking can be found at the top left on the terminal:...
The ELX3202 analog input terminal allows the direct connection of RTDs located in hazardous areas classified Zone 0/20 or 1/21. The circuitry of the ELX3202 can operate sensors with 2, 3 and 4-wire technology. Linearization is carried out over the entire freely selectable temperature range. By default the terminal is set to PT100 sensors with 2-wire technology.
Linearization is carried out over the entire freely selectable temperature range. By default the terminal is set to PT100 sensors with 2-wire technology. The ELX3204 terminal indicates signal state and sensor malfunctions (e.g. wire breakage) by means of LEDs. Version: 1.2.0 ELX3202 and ELX3204...

IECEx scheme! CAUTION The ELX terminals extend the field of application of the Beckhoff bus terminal system with functions for integrating intrinsically safe field devices from hazardous areas. The intended field of application is data acquisition and control tasks in discrete and process engineering automation, taking into account explosion protection requirements.
• Observe the permissible ambient temperature range of -25 to +60°C of Beckhoff ELX terminals! • Measures must be taken to protect against the rated operating voltage being exceeded by more than 40% due to short-term interference voltages! The power supply of the ELX9560 power supply terminal must correspond to overvoltage category II according...
