EJ8xxx | Signal distribution board development

Beckhoff offers development of signal distribution boards as an engineering service. Alternatively, customers can use a design guide to develop the signal distribution board themselves, something that allows them to harness their own development capabilities and reinforce their expertise.

Following a functional analysis of the machine, a basic machine with auxiliary modules can be derived. Acting as the platform, the basic machine covers the standardized machine functions. To make the machine more complex, the platform can supplemented by additional EJ modules in the various functional areas. The EJ9001 placeholder modules temporarily close gaps in the module segment and allow functional modules to be added later. This makes it possible to expand the machine complexity from basic to extended, then to high-end.

The design guide can be downloaded under Documentation and downloads; footprints and mechanical coding for the various EJ modules can be found on the corresponding product pages.
