Information About EP2008-0001
The EP2008-0001 is part of Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Box family, designed for decentralized field installation in harsh industrial environments. It provides 8 digital outputs for switching ohmic, inductive, or lamp loads with a maximum of 0.5 A per channel. Featuring short-circuit protection, fast switching times, and electrical isolation of 500 V, it ensures safe and reliable performance in demanding applications. The module uses robust M8 connectors and integrates seamlessly into EtherCAT networks, making it a flexible choice for modular automation.
Key Features:
-
8 Independent Digital Outputs: Provides eight separate channels for switching 24 V DC loads, allowing flexible control of multiple devices directly in the field.
-
Versatile Load Compatibility: Designed to reliably switch ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads, supporting a wide range of industrial applications.
-
Stable Output Current Handling: Each channel delivers up to 0.5 A with built-in short-circuit proof design, ensuring safe operation and long service life.
-
Short-Circuit and Overload Protection: Integrated current limiting at ~1.5 A protects both the module and connected equipment from electrical faults.
-
Fast Switching Dynamics: Offers typical turn-on times of 50 µs and turn-off times of 100 µs, enabling precise control in time-critical automation processes.
-
Robust M8 Connectivity: Uses standardized M8 screw-type connectors for reliable, vibration-proof wiring in harsh industrial environments.
-
Strong Electrical Isolation: Provides 500 V isolation between field signals and the EtherCAT bus, ensuring safe and interference-free operation.
-
Compact and Durable Housing: Built in a slim PA6 polyamide enclosure with IP65/66/67 field protection, making it resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.
-
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Designed to function reliably from -25 °C to +60 °C, with storage tolerance down to -40 °C, ensuring durability across diverse environments.
The EP2008-0001 delivers the reliability and precision required for distributed digital output control in demanding EtherCAT automation systems.
