ER2038-0001 | EtherCAT Box, 8-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 2 A, M8, with diagnostics, zinc die-cast

The ER2038-0001 EtherCAT Box with digital outputs connects binary control signals from the controller on to the actuators at the process level. The eight outputs handle load currents of up to 2 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 2 A signal current.

The signal state is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The ER2038-0001 offers output diagnostics in the form of short circuit and open circuit detection per channel. The signals are connected via M8 screw type connectors.

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.
