Beckhoff Automation eq2809-0022

The EQ2809 EtherCAT Box with digital outputs connects the binary control signals from the controller on to the actuators at the process level. The 16 outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A each, although the total current is limited to 4 A. This makes these modules particularly suitable for applications in which not all of the outputs are active at the same time, or in which not all of the actuators draw 0.5 A current. The signal state is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected via M12 screw type connectors. The outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse connection. 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.
