Product Description

The Beckhoff EP3752-0000 EtherCAT Box enables precise monitoring of machine vibrations and movements through its dual 10-bit acceleration sensor channels. As part of the renowned EP Digital Input Series, this device delivers versatile solutions for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and machine safety applications. Compatible with a variety of tri-axial accelerometers, it supports sampling frequencies from 200Hz to 5kHz to thoroughly capture dynamic mechanical behaviors. Extended digital filtering functions aid in isolating meaningful acceleration signatures from background noise. Additional tilt sensing helps diagnose inclined equipment positions to maintain optimal orientations.

Reliability is a top priority met through the EP3752-0000’s ruggedized construction. With industry-leading IP65 to IP67 ingress protection certification, it withstands infiltration of dust and liquids for usage even under submersible conditions. Covering an expansive operating temperature range from -25°C to 60°C, this module is equally at home in refrigerated cold stores or outdoor processing machinery. Vibration and mechanical shock resistance up to 30g reinforces longevity in stochastic environments. Wide-ranging EMC norms ensure safe operation near electric motors without interference. Together, these certified attributes testify to years of continuous use across diverse settings.

Additional ease-of-use stems from simple 24V DC power, two M12 wiring ports, and compact 30x126x26.5mm dimensions. On-board mounting pads allow direct attachment to vibrating machine frames while withstanding resonant stresses. EtherCAT connectivity brings numerous advantages from fast transmission speeds to centralized commissioning via powerful TwinCAT software. Comprehensive diagnostics enable condition-based servicing by detecting small fluctuations preceding breakdowns. Acceleration profiles may also document proof of machinery safety for insurance liability purposes.
