Beckhoff Automation ep2318-0002

The EP2318-0002 EtherCAT Box combines four digital inputs (two M12 sockets at the top) and four digital outputs (two M12 sockets at the bottom) in one device. The inputs have a filter of 10 µs. The outputs process load currents up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit-proof and protected against reverse polarity. The signal status is indicated by LEDs. The signals are connected via M12 screw type connectors. Two channels are available per M12 socket.   The supply of the connected sensors is carried out via an internal, short-circuit-proof driver module with a total of 0.5 A for all sensors. The outputs are supplied via UP. All outputs are short-circuit-proof and protected against reverse polarity.
