The ERI1809-0021 IO-Link box with digital inputs acquires the binary control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The state of the signals is indicated by light emitting diodes. The signals are connected via M8 screw type connectors. The IO-Link box modules with zinc die-cast housing are ready for use in harsh industrial and process environments. With the fully sealed design and metal surfaces the ERI series is ideal for applications requiring enhanced load capacity and protection against weld spatter, for example.
