EP3162 - Introduction
2-channel analog input ± 10 V or 0/4...20 mA, electrically isolated, single-ended, 16-bit
The EP3162 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs that can be individually parameterized to process signals either in the range from -10 V to +10 V or from 0/4 mA to 20 mA. 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 two input channels are electrically isolated from each other. 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.
