Product Description

The EP3174-0092 digital input module reliably handles complex automation needs with its four differential inputs through versatile functionality. As part of Beckhoff's EP Digital Input Series utilizing EtherCAT for high-speed communication, it gathers both voltage and current ranges through -10/0 to +10V or 0/4 to 20mA inputs per channel using configurable filters. Rapid data collection is possible through its conversion time of a mere 100 microseconds, capturing dynamic processes seamlessly. It withstands industrial rigors through a rated operating voltage of 24V DC within a wide tolerance, removing electrical disturbances through matching common mode voltages up to 35V and internal resistances exceeding 200kOhms.

Sensors connect effortlessly to both dedicated connections and bus interfaces using M12 and M8 constructions for joining field networks. Future-proof precision is assured by 16-bit resolution sign handling, with under 0.3% measurement error. Filtering contaminants, a limit frequency of 5kHz eliminates anomalies to provide clean readings. The module accommodates demanding tolerance needs as signals calibrate individually. Distributed clock synchronization ensures dependable data time-keeping. Supplied safely by load voltage, it powers onboard with no external power.

Global compliance is attained from EtherCAT performance and safety approvals. The design eases tight space installations with compact dimensions and DIN rail mounting. Enhanced by configurable input filtering tailored for application, the 16-channel packs pinpoint accuracy and elimination of inaccuracies into a pocket-sized design, delivering high-integrity data at lightning speeds unattainable elsewhere.
