Information About EP1018-0001
The EP1018-0001 is part of Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Box I/O family, designed for decentralized signal acquisition directly in the field. This module provides 8 digital inputs for 24 V DC signals with a fast 10 µs input filter, ensuring high-speed detection of control signals. Equipped with robust M8 screw-type connections and galvanic isolation up to 500 V, it guarantees safe and stable performance even in electrically noisy environments. With its compact and fully sealed housing rated IP65/66/67, the unit is built for reliable operation in demanding industrial automation applications.
Key Features:
-
8 Digital Inputs: Provides eight channels for reliable 24 V DC signal acquisition in distributed control systems.
-
Fast 10 µs Input Filter: Ensures rapid response to input signals, supporting high-speed automation processes.
-
EtherCAT Protocol Support: Enables real-time communication with fast synchronization across field devices.
-
Rugged M8 Connections: Uses M8 screw-type input and bus connectors for secure and durable field wiring.
-
High Signal Integrity: Designed to meet EN 61131-2, type 1/3 standards for compatibility and reliability.
-
Wide Voltage Tolerance: Accepts -15% to +20% variations on 24 V DC inputs to withstand unstable supply conditions.
-
IP65/66/67 Protection: Fully sealed housing protects against dust, moisture, and industrial contaminants.
-
Compact and Lightweight: At only 165 g, it is easy to install close to sensors and actuators in distributed systems.
The EP1018-0001 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized EtherCAT installations in tough industrial environments.
