AD4 ECAT MM Series

Fast measurement with IEPE sensors

Type IE100 and Type OE100

Designed specifically for use with IEPE sensors. With up to 100 kHz per channel, the high-speed EtherCAT® measurement modules simplify your application.

Fast, synchronous, mobile

The high-speed ECAT measurement modules for IEPE sensors enable the acquisition of analog voltages with data rates of up to 100 kHz.

The AD4 IE100 features a galvanically isolated sensor excitation up to 24 V and a measurement range from ±1 V to ±20 V. This makes that module ideally suited for measurement tasks making use of high-frequency IEPE acceleration sensors and microphones.

AD4 OE100 is provided with a measurement range from ±5 V to ±90 V and an isolated sensor supply with up to 24 V supply voltage.

The modules are operated via the Ethernet/EtherCAT® protocol converter XCP-Gateway in conjunction with XCP-enabled data acquisition software. Measurement data rates > 10 kHz per channel are supported by vMeasure, CANape and in INCA via the add-on CSM INCA AddOn ETH. Alternatively, the modules can be operated by using a standard EtherCAT® master via CANopen over EtherCAT® (CoE) with measurement data rates up to 10 kHz.
