- Connectors: M12, IP67-rated, gold-plated
- PCB: FR-4, conformal coated, EIP module has additional EMC shielding
Working Principle:
Torque and angle are sampled identically to TC52S. The EIP module acts as a gateway — it reads all controller data and makes it available on the selected fieldbus protocol. The PLC can read live torque/angle values, send new setpoints, and log results to a central database.
Key Advantages:
- Full Industry 4.0 readiness — connects directly to factory automation networks
- 8 digital I/O eliminates need for external I/O modules
- Remote diagnostics reduce downtime
- Multi-step tightening with live data feedback to PLC
Applicable Industries:
Automotive OEM and Tier 1, Aerospace, Medical device (Class II/III), Semiconductor equipment assembly, Smart factory environments
Installation Requirements:
- DIN rail mount both main unit and EIP module (total width: ~200 mm)
- 24 V DC, minimum 3 A (EIP draws additional current)
- M12 8-pin to screwdriver (max. 3 m)
- M12 12-pin to EIP I/O breakout (max. 5 m)
- Ethernet cable (Cat5e or higher) to PLC/switch (max. 100 m)
- Shielded cable mandatory within 1 m of VFD or welder
Usage Precautions:
- Configure EIP communication parameters in Atlas Copco Connect software before connecting to PLC
- Assign unique node addresses on fieldbus to avoid conflicts
- Update EIP firmware separately from main controller firmware
- Ground EIP module chassis to panel PE
