Introduction
4-channel power distribution, ENP to EtherCAT P
The EP9224-0037 EtherCAT Box distributes an EtherCAT signal to four EtherCAT P ports.
It measures supply voltages, output currents and its own temperature. The measured values are available as process data.
Internal protective functions use the measured values to switch off the output voltages of the EtherCAT P ports in case of error. This prevents damage and malfunctions:
- Overloading of the supply line
- Overloading of the power supply unit
- Overloading of the EtherCAT P cables
- Undervoltage of the supply voltages
The EP9224-0037 has a peak value detector and a data logger for the diagnosis of errors.
