The EPP3504-0023 is intended for use in a protected environment and is therefore equipped with IP20 bridge connections. The ERP3504-0022 is an IP67 product that has M12 plugs instead of push-in spring-loaded terminals and is housed in a zinc die-cast housing and is therefore protected against interference. Otherwise, this box is identical to the EPP3504-0023 in terms of its content and functions.

In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the functions Tare [} 000] and also ZeroOffset [} 000] of the box module or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.
The integrated switcheable shunt resistor can be used to generate a predictable detuning or, in case of deviation, a correction factor.

The channel for this box module features an option to set the measuring range either to the conventional Beckhoff type, up until now: "nominal full-scale value = PDO end value: LegacyRange" or the new method "technical full-scale value = PDO end value: ExtendedRange".
Depending on the work involved, the measurement/measured value is subject to a random measuring error that cannot be eliminated. With its practically determined specification data, Beckhoff provides an approach that can be used to calculate the residual measurement uncertainty in the individual case. The following paragraphs elucidate this.
Page 55
The independent specification data can be divided into two groups: • the data on offset/gain deviation, non-linearity, and repeatability, whose effect on the measurement cannot be influenced by the user. These are summarized by Beckhoff according to the calculation below, at "basic accuracy at 23°C".
Page 56
Total measurement accuracy = basic accuracy & noise & temperature values according to above formula Beckhoff usually gives the specification data symmetrically in [±%], i.e. ±0.01% or ±100 ppm. Accordingly, therefore, the unsigned total range would be double this given value. A peak-to-peak specification is a total range specification;...
Page 57
Error coefficient of ageing If the specification value for aging from Beckhoff has not (yet) been specified, it must be assumed to be 0 ppm when considering measurement uncertainty, as in the above example, even if in reality it can be assumed that the measurement uncertainty of the device under consideration changes over the operating time, or colloquially stated, the measured value "drifts".
Page 58
This value could easily be calculated from the data given by the specification, as the total accuracy consists of a measured value and full scale value dependent component and an exclusively full scale value dependent component, according to the formula: Version: 1.3 EPP3504-0023/ ERP3504-0022...

If current ESI descriptions are available in the TwinCAT system, the last revision offered in the selection dialog matches the Beckhoff state of production. It is recommended to use the last device revision when creating a new configuration, if current Beckhoff devices are used in the real application. Older revisions should only be used if older devices from stock are to be used in the application.
