Beckhoff Automation er3184-1002

The ER3184-1002 EtherCAT Box has four analog inputs which can be individually parameterized, so that they process signals either in the -10/0…+10 V or the 0/4…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 possess a common, internal ground potential. The input filter and therefore the conversion times are configurable in a wide range. If required, the inputs can be scaled differently, and automatic limit monitoring is also available. EtherCAT is used for parameterization purposes. The parameters are stored in the module. The signal connection is made 2-channel per M12 socket, sockets 2 and 4 are not used. The EtherCAT Box modules with zinc die-cast housing are ready for use in harsh industrial and process environments. With the fully sealed design and metal surfaces the ER series is ideal for applications requiring enhanced load capacity and protection against weld spatter, for example.
