EPP3184-0002 - Introduction
The EPP3184 EtherCAT P Box has four analog inputs which can be individually parameterized, so that they process signals either in the -10 V/0 V to +10 V range or the 0 mA/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 four input channels are single-ended inputs and share a common internal ground potential. 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.
