ICP Australia is proud to introduce ICP DAS’s ECAT-2016-3, which is an EtherCAT Slave I/O Module with 16-bit, 3-channel Strain Gauge.

The ECAT-2000 Series is equipped with the EtherCAT protocol and installed by daisy chain connection which permits flexibility in device installation and reduces infrastructure and operation costs. All the modules can be deployed in network topologies such as star, line, or ring. The isolation input and output design protect the ECAT-2000 Series against harmful interference and environment. The ECAT-2016-3 is a 3-channel analog input terminal that permits the direct connection of a resistor bridge. Users can obtain the input status via the process data. It has passed and verified by the conformance test tool, therefore eligible EtherCAT Master or configuration can manipulate it simply and implement your various applications easily.

Due to its multifaceted nature ECAT-2016-3 is ideal for various industrial applications. For example, semiconductor tools, metal forming, packaging, injection moulding, assembly systems, printing machines, and robotics.
