Output 1–16
Power supply
EM2042 | EtherCAT Terminal, 16-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, D-sub
The EM2042 EtherCAT module combines 16 digital outputs in a compact D-sub connector and is therefore ideally suited for valve terminals with multi-pin plug connection. The binary control signals are transferred (electrically isolated) to the actuators at the process level. The EM2042 is integrated into the I/O system like standard EtherCAT Terminals. The X2 connector for the power supply is included in the scope of supply.
Special features:
- D-Sub plug
- Ideal for valve terminals with multi-pin plug connection
- Max. output current of 0.5 A per channel (∑ 4 A)
- Individually short-circuit proof outputs and reverse polarity protection
Product status:
