Beckhoff Automation er2349-0021

The ER2349-0021 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 10 µs 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 via M8 screw type connectors. The sensors are powered by the load voltage UP. The EtherCAT Box modules with zinc die-cast housing are ready for use in harsh industrial and process environments. With the fully sealed design and metal surfaces the ER series is ideal for applications requiring enhanced load capacity and protection against weld spatter, for example.
