Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EQ3174-0002 is a 4-channel analog input EtherCAT Box designed for direct acquisition of voltage or current signals in harsh washdown environments. Built with a high-grade stainless steel housing featuring a Hygienic Design, this device is engineered for industries with strict sanitation and cleanliness requirements, such as food processing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing.

This EtherCAT Box permits individual parameterization of each channel, supporting signal ranges of -10 to +10 V, 0 to +10 V, 0 to 20 mA, and 4 to 20 mA. High-resolution 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion, combined with distributed clocks capability, ensures precise synchronization and high-speed data acquisition directly at the machine level, eliminating the need for protective control cabinets.

Features

Four analog inputs, individually parameterizable for voltage or current signals.
High-grade stainless steel housing (Hygienic Design) with IP69K protection rating for high-pressure clean-in-place (CIP) and washdown applications.
High-resolution 16-bit measurement with rapid conversion times of approximately 100 microseconds.
Distributed Clocks (DC) support for highly precise synchronized time-stamped analog measurements.
M12 connection technology for secure sensor connectivity and M8 connections for EtherCAT and power.

Applications

Food, beverage, and packaging machinery requiring frequent chemical washdowns.
Pharmaceutical and biochemical processing plants with strict hygienic standards.
Direct machine-mount analog signal acquisition in humid, wet, or corrosive environments.

Installation Guidelines

Verify that the plant and all related power sources are de-energized before mounting or wiring.
Securely mount the module to the machine frame using the two fixing lugs with M5 screws.
Ensure all M12 and M8 cabling connectors are tightened to the recommended torque specifications to maintain the IP69K sealing integrity.
Verify correct potential grouping and sensor power supply connections before energizing the module.
Configure the input channel parameters (voltage or current range) within the TwinCAT System Manager software prior to commissioning.
