Introduction

5-channel analog input module, potentiometer measurement with Sensor supply

The EJ3255 EtherCAT plug-in module enables potentiometers to be connected directly. A stabilized power supply in the module for the connected potentiometers and ratiometric measurement of the input voltage offer the prerequisites for precise measuring. On account of its high sampling rate and together with potentiometer position encoders, the compact, 5-channel EtherCAT plug-in module enables a temporally high-resolution and cost-efficient position detection.

The EJ3255 diagnostics detect broken wire, loss of supply voltage and short-circuit for each channel.

The five channels are measured simultaneously (at the same time).
