The EP2534-0002 EtherCAT Box regulates the output current by pulse width control of the peripheral voltage on four channels. The current values ranging from 0 to a maximum output current of 2 A are specified by the automation device through a 16-bit value. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 4 A. The output stages are protected against overload and short-circuit proof. The signal state of the channels is indicated by LEDs. The signal connection is established via screw-type M12 connectors. One channel is available per M12 socket.
