Beckhoff Automation epp2816-0008

The EPP2816-0008 EtherCAT P Box is designed for processing digital/binary signals. It connects the binary control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level. The outputs can handle output currents up to 0.5 A max. Short-term overload is acceptable. The outputs are short-circuit proof. An output short-circuit is recognized and passed on to the control level. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 3 A. The signal state is indicated for signal groups by means of light emitting diodes. The signal connection is made through a 25-pin D-sub socket. The 16-channel design offers high channel density in a small space. The IP67 D-sub connectors enable cost-effective, decentralized connection, e.g. of 16-channel valve terminals in the field.
