Accelerometers
2 x 3G accelerometers
The EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box features 2 3-axis accelerometers.
They are fitted on the underside the PCB at 90° angles.
Fig. 25: Location of the accelerometers
The image shows a top view and a side view of the EtherCAT Box. It shows the location of the
accelerometers within the Box. The green line indicates the location of the PCB. The accelerometers are
numbered 1 and 2. They are mounted on the underside of the PCB.
In this position, gravity (which is a form of acceleration), is displayed as a negative value when the Box is in
its normal operating position on a flat, level surface, e.g. on a test bench.
