Product Description
The EP4374-0002 digital input module from Beckhoff delivers precise dual-channel measurement and output functionality. As part of the EP Digital Input Series, this compact EtherCAT device handles a wide range of process variables with 16-bit resolution quality. Operating at -25°C to +60°C and protected by IP65/66/67 enclosures, the EP4374-0002 withstands harsh environments. Each of its two input/output channels supports ±10V, 0-20 mA, and other signal types for interfacing diverse sensing devices. Configurable per channel, integrated power supplies safely deliver 4-20mA loop power in addition to output current controlling capabilities.
With fast conversion times under 100μs, the unit facilitates high-data throughput applications. Users gain real-time control whether reading temperature probes or dosing chemical mixtures. Differential inputs improve noise immunity at the sensor interface as well. EtherCAT communications further accelerate distributed data collection from remote points and distributed axes. When paired with CX or CEX controllers, machine-level or “plug and play” drive configurations emerge effortlessly from this streamlined hardware.
Overall, the EP4374-0002 empowers transparent condition monitoring alongside dynamic process actuation in a single compact unit. Its precision and ruggedness at an attractive price point fulfill broad industrial data acquisition and machine control needs.
