Introduction
EtherCAT P Box modules with 16 digital inputs
The EPP1816-3008 EtherCAT P Box with 16 digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level and transfers them electrically isolated to the controller.
The signal status is indicated by LEDs; the signal connection is made through a 25-pin D-sub socket.
The EtherCAT P Box has two internal 3-axis acceleration sensors with adjustable measuring range. Possible applications include the recording of vibrations and shocks/oscillations, but inclination measurements in all three axes are also possible. Undervoltage detection (US and UP) is integrated and is signaled to the controller.
