Terminals

To add more measurement functions to low cost I/O terminals, the co. has released the new EL3681 and KL3681 terminals. By integrating digital multimeters directly into I/O nodes, users can expect a streamlined and low cost alternative to stand-alone digital multimeters, the co. states. Using the digital multimeter terminals with fieldbus interface for measuring current and voltage, measured values can be processed directly in the I/O system or by the master controller. These measuring terminals are available for both the co.’s Bus Terminal system, which offers support for most major fieldbuses as well as for the EtherCAT® Terminal system.
