Beckhoff Automation epp1816-3008

The EPP1816-3008 EtherCAT P Box with digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level and transfers them, with electrical isolation, to the controller. The signal state is indicated by means of LEDs. The signal connection is established via a 25-pin D-sub connector. An IP67 connector for connecting the inputs is available as an option. Thanks to the compact plug level, the EPP1816-3008 can transfer 16 signals from the field via EtherCAT in a very small space. The sensors are supplied in a short-circuit proof manner from the control voltage US with 0.5 A. The load voltage UP is not used in the input module.   In addition, the EtherCAT P Box has two integrated 10-bit 3-axis acceleration sensors with a user-selectable resolution of ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g or ±16 g. The sampling frequency is 1 Hz to 5 kHz. Possible applications include the recording of vibrations and shocks/oscillations, but inclination measurements in all three axes are also possible. The sensors are mounted directly on the signal board.
