EP2338-2002 | EtherCAT Box, 8-channel digital combi, 24 V DC, 10 µs, 0.5 A, M12
The EP2338-2002 EtherCAT Box has eight digital channels, which can each be operated as an input or output. It is not necessary to configure whether a channel (pins 2 and 4 of M12) is to be used as an input or output. The input circuit is permanently connected to the output driver internally so that a set output is also automatically displayed in the input process image. The inputs have a 10 µs filter. The outputs process load currents up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse polarity. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 4 A. The connected sensors are supplied with power via US and are limited to 4 A. The signal state is displayed by LEDs; the signals are connected via screwable M12 connectors.
