EP2338-3002 | EtherCAT Box, 8-channel digital combi, 24 V DC, 10 µs, 0.5 A, M12, with ⏚New

The EP2338-3002 EtherCAT Box has eight digital channels that can each be operated as inputs or outputs. It is not necessary to configure whether a channel (pin 2 and 4 of the M12) is to be used as input or output; the input circuit is permanently connected internally to the output driver, so that a set output is automatically displayed in the input process image.

The inputs have a filter of 10 µs. The outputs handle load currents up to 0.5 A and are short-circuit proof and protected against reverse polarity. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 4 A.

The connected sensors are supplied by an internal, short-circuit-proof driver module with a total of 0.5 A for all sensors. The inputs and outputs are supplied via U_P. The signal status is indicated by LEDs. The signals are connected via M12 connectors. The product also offers an additional ⏚ connection option (pin 5 of the M12) for connected field devices.
