EP3182 - Introduction
2-channel analog input ±10 V or 0/4...20 mA, parameterizable, single-ended, 16-bit, 2 digital control outputs 24 VDC, short-circuit proof
Analog inputs (single-ended)
The EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs which can be individually parameterized, so that they process signals either in the -10 V to +10 V range or the 0/4 mA…20 mA range. The voltage or input current is digitized with a resolution of 16 bits, and is transmitted (electrically isolated) to the higher-level automation device.
The input filter and therefore the conversion times are configurable in a wide range. The inputs can, if required, be scaled differently, and automatic limit value monitoring is also available. EtherCAT is used for parameterization purposes. The parameters are stored in the module.
The connected sensors are supplied with power via UP. This can be fed to the supply voltage input to match the sensor and is passed on unfiltered to the signal M12 connectors.
Digital outputs
In addition, the EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two digital outputs via which it forwards the binary control signals from the controller to the actuators at the process level.
These two outputs (sink/source type) are intended for the switching of logic inputs or outputs with a minimum impedance of 10 kOhm (e.g. reset inputs of digital sensors) and can process currents up to 2 mA. They indicate their signal state by LEDs and are short-circuit proof.
The signals are also connected via the two M12 connectors.
