The EP3752-0000 EtherCAT Box has two internal 3-axis accelerometers with 10?bits and a selectable measuring range of °¿2?g, °¿4?g, °¿8?g and °¿16?g. The sampling frequency is 200?Hz to 5?kHz. Possible applications include the recording of vibrations and shocks/oscillations, and furthermore inclination measurements in all three axes. Since measurement is carried out with two sensors that are positioned at an angle of 90°„ to each other, the control system can check measured data for plausibility. Extended integrated filter functions allow measured data to be pre-processed and appropriately scaled in order to filter disturbances and to relieve the workload of the control system.
