The EPP2038-0001 EtherCAT?P Box is designed for processing digital/binary signals. It connects the binary control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level. The outputs can handle output currents up to 2.0?A max. Short-term overload is acceptable. The outputs are short-circuit proof. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 3?A. The signal state of the channels is indicated by LEDs. With channel-based short-circuit and open-load/broken-wire detection, the EPP2038-0001 provides effective diagnostics to ensure reliable system availability. The signal connection is established via screw-type M8 connectors.
