Product Description:

The Beckhoff EP3184-0002 digital input module delivers precise and versatile data acquisition for industrial applications. As an entry within the EP Digital Input Series, it combines a fast 100 microsecond conversion speed with 16-bit resolution for accurate measurement of process and machine variables. This EtherCAT device accepts diverse analog signal types on its four single-ended voltage/current inputs. Each channel supports both -10 to +10 V and 0/4 to 20 mA input ranges through software parameterization. This flexibility facilitates connecting a wide array of sensors from various manufacturers.

Protection of connected hardware is also emphasized. A maximum 35 V common-mode voltage rating defends against transient spikes or ground faults. M12 connection ports with shielded bus interfaces guard against electromagnetic interference. Communication over an EtherCAT interface allows for highly synchronized multi-node distributed control without special programming. Inputs are monitored and recorded within TwinCAT automation software at lightning speeds achievable only through open industrial standards.

Rugged construction suitable for plant floors sees the module rated for a nominal 24 VDC supply while drawing a modest 120 mA. Compact M8 sensor cabling preserves space in distributed panel architectures. Overall precision, versatility, and real-time performance bring industrial-strength A/D conversion to industrial automation applications. Whether for basic PLCs, robot cells, or condition monitoring systems, the EP3184-0002 handles varied process signals with rapid 16-bit scans. Both engineering teams and line operators can depend on its reliable insights into production processes.
