Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
The EL3162 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff industrial component installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Beckhoff EL3162 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number EL3162; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
Cross-check the ratings above with the installed device before confirming the order.
Q.For EL3162, what does the specification table state about tripping characteristic?
