Information About EP2308-0001
The EP2308-0001 is part of Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Box series, engineered for distributed I/O applications in harsh industrial environments. It provides four digital inputs and four digital outputs, allowing efficient signal processing close to the sensors and actuators. Inputs feature a 3 ms filter for signal stability, while outputs handle load currents up to 0.5 A with individual short-circuit and reverse polarity protection. The module supports 24 V DC operation and includes internal power distribution with up to 0.5 A available for connected sensors. Its M8 connectors and IP67 protection enable reliable, tool-free field installation. The integrated EtherCAT interface ensures high-speed, deterministic communication and synchronization within networked control architectures.
Key Features:
- Dual I/O Functionality: Combines 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs for compact and efficient field-level control.
- EtherCAT Communication: Fully compatible with EtherCAT networks for high-speed data exchange and deterministic timing.
- Protected Outputs: Each output channel supports 0.5 A load current and includes individual short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.
- Stable Input Filtering: 3 ms filter ensures noise immunity and reliable signal detection in industrial environments.
- Robust Field Connectivity: M8 screw-type connectors offer secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections.
- Integrated Sensor Power: Provides up to 0.5 A total current for powering sensors directly from the module.
- Industrial Durability: IP67-rated housing ensures complete protection against dust and water ingress for outdoor and factory floor use.
- Compact Installation: Flat and lightweight design allows mounting directly at the machine, minimizing wiring complexity.
- Fast Switching Performance: Output switching times as low as 50 µs (ON) and 100 µs (OFF) enable responsive control.
- Simple Diagnostics: LED indicators display signal and power status for quick visual troubleshooting.
The EP2308-0001 delivers the reliability and precision required for distributed machine control, I/O consolidation, and EtherCAT-based automation in industrial environments.
