Beckhoff Automation eq2339-0022

The EQ2339 EtherCAT Box has 16 digital channels, each of which can optionally be operated as an input or as an output. A configuration for using a channel as input or output is not necessary; the input circuit is internally connected to the output driver, so that a set output is displayed automatically in the input process image. A filter constant of 3.0 ms is available for the inputs. The outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse polarity. They handle load currents of up to 0.5 A each, although the total current is limited to 4 A. The state of each signal is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected optionally via M8 (EQ2339-0021) or M12 (EQ2339-0022) screw type connectors. The sensors are powered by the load voltage UP. The modules of the EQxxxx series are made of stainless steel in hygienic design. Therefore they are ideal for applications in the food, chemical or pharmaceutical industries, which require protection rating IP69K.
