Introduction
EtherCAT P Box with diagnostics, TwinSAFE SC
The space-saving EPP9022-9060 EtherCAT P Box is suitable for the diagnosis and measurement of the voltages US and UP as well as the currents IS and IP or for measuring these variables both temporarily during commissioning and permanently during system operation. The voltage range is displayed on the box by the LEDs (green, yellow and red) even without an EtherCAT master. In a running EtherCAT network the values of US, UP, IS and IP can also be read out as process data in the master. The voltage levels for the LED displays can be adjusted by CoE. In addition there is an M8 power socket on the EPP9022-9060 to which an external multimeter can be connected for measuring the voltages.
With the help of the TwinSAFE SC technology it is possible to make the measured values from the EPP9022-9060 usable for safety tasks. A corresponding application example can be found in the TwinSAFE Application Guide. The user bears the responsibility for the safety evaluation in case of deviation from the application example.
