EtherCAT I/O Products, Analog Input, Potentiometer

EtherCAT I/O Products for potentiometer measurement are available as 1-, 2-, 4-, 5-, 6- channel variants with a single-ended, differential or electrically isolated ground reference and 16 bit or 24 bit signal resolutions. High sampling rates, XFC technology (distributed clocks/oversampling) round the function scope. In addition to the potentiometer measurement, there are a number of products that support other measured variables, such as resistance, temperature (RTD, TC), measuring bridge, etc. in a single or multifunctional mode.
