EL8601 multi-I/O interface: Product news from SPS 2022

The EP8601-0022 EtherCAT Box offers a combination of different inputs and outputs and nine different signal types. In addition to the digital inputs and outputs, there is also one analog input and one analog output which are configurable as a current or voltage signal with 12-bit resolution. The digital inputs with configurable filter times can also be used for 24 V HTL encoders with A, B track incl. latch and gate function or as an up/down counter with a counting frequency of up to 100 kHz. Two of the digital outputs can be used as a PWM signal that can be modulated in both pulse width and frequency in the range of 20 Hz to 25 kHz.

With its combination of inputs and outputs, the EP8601-0022 offers a compact solution that can be controlled via EtherCAT for a wide variety of units.
