Introduction

2-channel analog input terminal for Condition Monitoring (IEPE)
Accelerometers with IEPE interface can be directly connected to the EL3632 EtherCAT Terminal. The
measuring signals are analyzed on the PC via the TwinCAT library. This enables all benefits of the PC
platform, such as performance and flexibility, to be fully utilized. Alternatively, the evaluation can also be
done using the user software. The terminal can be adapted to individual requirements through configurable
filters and supply currents.
A galvanically isolated measurement configuration can be achieved using the EL9560. Through interfacing
via EtherCAT and support of the distributed clocks function the measurement results – and any detected
defects – can be precisely allocated to an axis position.
