Beckhoff Automation ie2401

The IE2401 digital I/O module has sixteen channels that can be used as eight inputs and eight outputs. The device can therefore be flexibly adapted to the requirements of the application. The signals are connected through M8 screw type connectors, which have four pins (with separate input and output pins). Adapter cables are available for use in input-only or output-only cases, as well as connectors for field wireable. It is also possible to use the power supply cable directly as the sensor cable. The outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5?A, are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse polarity. The state of each signal is indicated by means of light emitting diodes.
