The EPP2318-0001 EtherCAT?P Box combines four digital inputs (four M8 sockets at the top) and four digital outputs (four M8 sockets at the bottom) on one device. The inputs have a 10?¶Ãs filter. The outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5?A, are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse polarity. The signal state is displayed by LEDs; the signals are connected via screwable M8 connectors. The connected sensors are supplied via an internal, short-circuit proof driver block with a total of 0.5?A for all sensors. The outputs are supplied via UP. All outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against inverse polarity.
