Product Description
The Beckhoff EP3356-0022 delivers high-fidelity analog measurement for digitally integrated machines and processes. As an EtherCAT-based module, it reliably transfers 24-bit voltage and strain gauge data to control systems at over 1 ksps while maintaining sub-0.1% accuracy. Part of the EP Digital Input Series, the EP3356-0022 supports -25°C to +60°C conditions with an IP65/66/67-rated housing. Its rugged polyamide enclosure withstands vibrating, damp, or dusty industrial settings to provide years of dependable service. Simultaneous 1-channel sampling empowers capturing transient events precisely in real time.
Dynamic filtering and fast conversion maximize usable data rates without aliasing effects. Combined with Beckhoff CX or CEx controllers in distributed configurations, complex installations gain powerful sensor fusion across wide footprints. Differential input circuits and ±0.15% rated supplies deliver stable common-mode rejection even in noisy facility power environments.
Self-calibration routines help compensate for component aging or temperature drifts that could undermine measurement integrity over the long term. Modbus/TCP, PROFINET, and other protocols facilitate incorporation into multi-vendor machines as well with converters. Overall, the EP3356-0022 represents a robust and high-performance solution for applications from quality inspection to predictive maintenance. Users gain a scalable platform tailored for industrial automation needs.
