Product Description

The EP3174-0002 precision module from Beckhoff's renowned EP Series reliably acquires measurement data with exceptional 16-bit resolution. Leveraging the high-speed EtherCAT protocol, this module supports high-bandwidth communication needs. Its four differential inputs accept both voltage and current signals, delivering wide measurement versatility. Robust terminal blocks and M12 connections establish secure interfacing for varied environments.

Weighing in at a mere 165 grams, the compact design withstands demanding applications. Furthermore, IP65 through IP67 ingress protection qualifications mean reliability in wet, dusty, or otherwise punishing conditions. A nominal 24V DC operating voltage accommodates most industrial systems while a broad measurement range from -10V to +10V captures subtle dynamics. Configuration options enable customizing each channel independently as passive, active, or current input type to exactly meet application needs.

Fast 100μs conversion times facilitate capturing rapidly changing processes, and distributed clocks synchronization delivers sample-accurate data across extensive networks. Up to 35V of common-mode noise rejection on the balanced inputs yields dependable signals even amid interference. Other asset-protecting features include overvoltage protection and a 5kHz anti-aliasing filter to prevent measurement miscalculations. Status LEDs and intuitive parameterization software expedite commissioning and diagnostics. Value stems not only from accurate and reproducible measurements but also from lifecycle cost savings.
