Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EPP3632-0001 is a highly precise 2-channel analog input interface designed for condition monitoring and vibration analysis. Built in the compact, ruggedized EtherCAT P Box form factor, this module enables direct, decentralized acquisition of signals from IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) constant-current sensors, such as high-frequency accelerometers and microphones.

By utilizing EtherCAT P technology, the BECKHOFF EPP3632-0001 combines high-speed communication and power transmission (both Us control voltage and Up peripheral voltage) into a single, standardized M8 connection. This decentralized design eliminates the need for long, noise-sensitive analog sensor cables by converting signals directly at the measuring point, significantly improving signal quality and system architecture flexibility.

Features

  • Two-channel analog input specifically optimized for IEPE constant-current sensors.
  • Individually configurable sensor excitation current (2 mA, 4 mA, or 8 mA) for both channels.
  • High-resolution 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion with a fast sampling rate of up to 50 ksamples/s (20 microsecond conversion time).
  • Parameterizable 5th-order analog low-pass filter (up to 25 kHz) and high-pass filtering for tailored vibration analysis.
  • Distributed Clocks (DC) support for microsecond-level synchronization across the industrial network.
  • Integrated sensor state diagnostics via continuous bias voltage monitoring.
  • Rugged IP65, IP66, and IP67 industrial housing suitable for direct machine mounting without an enclosure.

Applications

  • Decentralized vibration and structural health monitoring of rotating equipment.
  • Real-time bearing and gearbox diagnostics in harsh production environments.
  • Acoustic emission analysis and machine noise monitoring.
  • Direct-on-machine field installation to minimize analog cabling runs.

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure the entire EtherCAT P segment is de-energized before mounting or making connections.
  2. Secure the box to a clean, flat surface using standard M3 screws through the integrated mounting eyelets.
  3. Use only shielded, P-coded M8 cabling for the EtherCAT P bus interface to guarantee reliable data transmission and power delivery.
  4. Connect the IEPE sensors using shielded M8, 4-pin screw-type connectors, ensuring the shields are correctly terminated to minimize electromagnetic noise.
  5. Verify that all unused M8 ports are sealed with appropriate protective caps to maintain the IP67 environmental rating.

Configuration Guidelines

Configuration of the BECKHOFF EPP3632-0001 is performed through the TwinCAT System Manager. Users must configure the appropriate sensor supply excitation current (2 mA, 4 mA, or 8 mA) and the analog filtering parameters within the CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) settings online to match the specific electrical specifications of the connected IEPE sensors.
