Where it sits in the control system
The EL3356 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.
Selection notes for Beckhoff EL3356
Beckhoff EL3356 — 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 EL3356; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Humidity: 95%, no condensation — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
