EP1258-0502 | EtherCAT Box, 8-channel digital input, 24 V DC, 1 µs, M12, multi-timestamp
The EP1258-0002 EtherCAT Box with digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level and transmits them to the controller under electrical isolation. Compared to the EP1258-0002, the EP1258-0502 offers higher performance thanks to the XFC multi-timestamping function. Timestamp technology allows signals to be precisely retraced over time. Whereas the EP1258-0002 can accept one edge change with timestamp per bus cycle, the EP1258-0502 offers the possibility to register up to 32 events with timestamps. The EP1258-0502 is synchronized with other EtherCAT devices through the distributed clocks system, so that events in the whole system can be measured with a uniform timebase. The signal connection is established via screw-type M12 connectors. Two channels are available per M12 socket.
