Product Description:

The EP3162-0002 digital input module from Beckhoff delivers rapid and precise data acquisition for industrial automation processes. As part of the EP Digital Input Series, the unit leverages EtherCAT communications to reliably transfer 16-bit resolution measurements within its 100μs conversion time.

Supporting common input signal types such as -10/0...+10V and -20/0/4...+20mA that can be parameterized per channel, the EP3162-0002 facilitates connection of diverse sensing devices. Minimal measurement error below 0.3% of full scale adds further accuracy for critical monitoring situations. Along with 2 single-ended inputs and M12 or M8 connection compatibility, its versatility accommodates varied application needs. Operative over a nominal 24VDC range with 15-20% tolerance, the module performs dependably even as voltage fluctuations occur in machine power supplies or field wiring.

Distributed clock synchronization removes timing uncertainties that could undermine automated sequences. Isolation of the internal sensor power supply protects connected transmitters additionally. Weighing just 120mA from its E-bus interface, the EP3162-0002 imposes minimal overhead on distributed control systems. When matched with a Beckhoff CX or CEX series controller, its high-speed EtherCAT interface empowers swift distributed data collection across vast machine installations. Overall, the EP3162-0002 combines swift Ethernet communications with precise analog measurement into a rugged component well-suited for modern industrial environments. Users gain a scalable input module engineered for transparent diagnostics and continuous productivity.
