Utilizing advanced EtherCAT P technology, this unit integrates both high-speed communication and electrical power supply (system and sensor supply Us, peripheral voltage for actuators Up) into a single, standard cable. This unified architecture simplifies system wiring, minimizes installation footprint, and lowers overall commissioning costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with four single-ended analog inputs, the \u003cstrong\u003eBECKHOFF EPP3184-0002\u003c\/strong\u003e offers exceptional flexibility by allowing each channel to be individually parameterized. Field sensors transmitting standard voltage ranges (-10\/0 to +10 V) or current signals (0\/4 to 20 mA) can be connected directly without requiring hardware-variant changes. With its 16-bit resolution, fast conversion time, and configurable input filters, this EtherCAT P Box delivers precise, synchronized measurement data directly from the machine field
