EtherCAT Box with four analog inputs for PT100 (RTD) The EP3204 EtherCAT Box with analog inputs enables direct connection of resistance sensors. The module circuit can operate sensors with 2-, 3- and 4-wire technology. Linearisation over the full temperature range is realized with the aid of a microprocessor.

(CAT5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used. EtherCAT uses four wires for signal transmission. Thanks to automatic line detection ("Auto MDI-X"), both symmetrical (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between Beckhoff EtherCAT. Detailed recommendations for the cabling of EtherCAT devices Version: 2.2 EP3204 and EP3314...
Signal connection 5.2.3.1 EP3204: Pt100 (RTD) The advantage of four-wire technique is that the error resulting from the cable and contacts is included in the measurement and cancelled out. In the 3-wire technique, the line resistance to the resistance sensor is measured in one direction only, and is multiplied by two.
This allows the temperature to be measured with significantly better accuracy. Beckhoff offer a connector (ZS2000-3712) for this. The temperature compensation can also be carried out at a location other than the Fieldbus Box. You must then wire a PT1000 between pins 1 and 3.
