EtherCAT box EP8601-002: One box - many options
EL8601-8411: Up to twelve signal interfaces and nine signal types
EL8601 multi-I/O interface: Product news from SPS 2022
The EL8601-8411 EtherCAT Terminal offers a combination of up to twelve signal interfaces (8 x DI, 2 x DO, 1 x AI, 1 x AO) and up to nine different signal types in an installation space of just 12 mm. In addition to the digital inputs and outputs, one analog input and output each can be configured as a current or voltage signal. The digital inputs with configurable filter times can also be used for 24 V HTL encoders with A and B track including latch and gate function, or as an up/down counter with a counting frequency of up to 100 kHz. Two of the digital outputs can be used as a PWM signal that can be modulated in both pulse width and frequency in the range of 20 Hz to 25 kHz.
The EL8601-8411 is an ideal complement to the CX7000 Embedded PC due to the large number of configurable combination options. It offers a compact solution for applications where only a few complex signals are required.
Due to the predefined number of terminal points, not all signals can be used simultaneously. For each signal range, the parameterization can be conveniently defined via TwinCAT using the "modules/slots" method.
Special features:
- various configurations of digital and analog inputs and outputs
- analog inputs and outputs for current or voltage
- encoder, counter and PWM output configurable
