Description

The BECKHOFF EP3184-0002 EtherCAT Box is a 4-channel analog input module designed for harsh industrial environments requiring decentralized data acquisition. Featuring an IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection rating, this machine-mount module connects directly to the EtherCAT network via M8 sockets and acquires precise process signals without requiring a control cabinet.

This module processes four single-ended analog inputs, with each channel individually parameterizable for voltage or current signals ranging from -10/0 to +10 V or 0/4 to 20 mA. Operating with a 16-bit resolution including sign and support for distributed clocks, the EP3184-0002 delivers deterministic measurement timing for demanding automation and control applications.

Features

  • Four single-ended analog input channels parameterizable for voltage or current
  • Voltage ranges: -10/0 to +10 V; current ranges: 0/4 to 20 mA
  • High 16-bit resolution including sign for accurate signal acquisition
  • Integrated EtherCAT interface with dual shielded M8 sockets for line topology
  • Distributed clocks support for synchronized, time-precise measurements
  • Rugged fully potted plastic housing with IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection ratings
  • Sensor supply powered from the 24 V DC load supply voltage UP

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control systems without control cabinets
  • Industrial pressure, flow, and level monitoring using standard analog sensors
  • Automated test stands and measurement equipment requiring distributed data acquisition
  • Conveyor and handling systems operating in wet or dusty industrial environments

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure the system is completely de-energized before beginning mechanical or electrical installation.
  2. Verify that the mounting surface is clean and secure the EP3184-0002 module in the desired variable orientation using compatible machine screws.
  3. Connect the incoming EtherCAT network cable to the designated M8 bus socket and daisy-chain to downstream devices if applicable.
  4. Attach the 24 V DC system and load supply lines to the M8 power feed connectors, ensuring correct polarity and voltage tolerances.
  5. Wire analog sensors to the M12 a-coded input sockets, paying attention to shielding and correct pin assignments for voltage or current signal types.
  6. Verify all connections, secure screw locks on M8 and M12 connectors to maintain IP65/66/67 sealing, and restore power before commissioning via TwinCAT.
