Description

The BECKHOFF EPP3184-0002 is a high-performance EtherCAT P Box designed for the direct acquisition of analog process signals in industrial environments. 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.

Equipped with four single-ended analog inputs, the BECKHOFF EPP3184-0002 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 level.

Features

Four single-ended analog input channels with parameterization per channel for voltage or current signals.
EtherCAT P technology integrating data transmission and 24 V DC power supply in one M8 connector.
High-precision 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion (including sign).
Supports Distributed Clocks (DC) for precise temporal synchronization across the EtherCAT network.
Configurable input filters to suppress high-frequency signal noise.
Rugged IP65, IP66, and IP67-rated enclosure suitable for wet, dusty, and harsh industrial environments.
Diagnostic and status LEDs indicating operating states, bus activity, and channel errors.

Applications

Machine-level analog sensor data acquisition without protective control cabinets.
Distributed process measurement systems requiring localized signal processing.
Factory automation environments utilizing decentralized EtherCAT P topologies.
Applications requiring precise multi-channel voltage and current tracking under synchronized Distributed Clocks.

Installation Guidelines

Verify the system architecture and ensure the power source matches the required 24 V DC supply before installation.
De-energize all power supplies feeding the EtherCAT P segment to prevent electrical shock or hardware damage.
Securely mount the EtherCAT P Box to the machine frame or mounting plate in a position that accommodates cabling without strain.
Connect the EtherCAT P bus cables using the shielded M8 screw-type, P-coded sockets. Ensure the connectors are fully tightened to maintain the IP65/66/67 protection rating.
Connect the analog sensors to the A-coded M12 input sockets. Verify correct pin mapping and signal types before starting the system.
Ensure proper grounding and shielding policies are met to protect analog signals from electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
Apply power and configure the module via the TwinCAT System Manager.

Configuration Guidelines

The BECKHOFF EPP3184-0002 must be configured in the TwinCAT engineering software. Scan the EtherCAT P network or manually import the corresponding EtherCAT Software Information (ESI) file. For each individual channel, navigate to the parameterization settings to set the desired input signal type (voltage or current) and configure input filter characteristics as demanded by the application requirements.
