ER3174-0002
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff ER3174-0002 module is part of the ER EtherCAT Box Modules series, designed for precise analog signal acquisition in demanding industrial environments. This differential input type device features a 4-channel analog input and 16-bit resolution, supporting signal types of ±10 V and 0/4 … 20 mA. Its primary function is to reliably convert and transmit multiple analog measurements over the EtherCAT communication interface, enabling seamless integration into automated process control and monitoring systems.
This module communicates via the EtherCAT interface, ensuring high-speed data transfer and synchronization across distributed I/O networks. It employs M8 connectors for both bus interface and power supply, while signal connections utilize robust M12 ports. The housing is constructed from zinc die-cast material and occupies a compact 30 mm width, making it suitable for installations in space-constrained control cabinets. The differential input topology minimizes common-mode noise, and the ±10 V / 0 … 20 mA nominal voltage range guarantees compatibility with standard industrial sensors and transmitters.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the ER3174-0002 carries an IP65/IP66/IP67 protection rating and operates reliably from –25 °C to +60 °C. It has passed extended range shock and vibration tests, ensuring long-term durability under mechanical stress. The module is CE Approved, complying with European safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. Its slim design and pre-wired connector concept reduce installation time and wiring errors, improving overall system efficiency. In industrial automation applications, this EtherCAT box delivers accurate, interference-resistant measurements and robust performance, enhancing process reliability and reducing downtime.
