Introduction
The EP1008-0022 EtherCAT Box with digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level and transfers them, with electrical isolation, to the controller. The signal state is displayed by LEDs; the signals are connected via screwable M12 connectors. One digital input is available for each M12 socket.
The sensors are supplied from the control voltage US. The load voltage UP is not used in the input module, but it can optionally be connected for forwarding and is fed through to the next device.
The connected sensors are supplied via an internal, short-circuit proof driver block with a total of 0.5 A for all sensors.
Due to the input filter of 3.0 ms, the EP1008-0022 is particularly suitable for electronic and mechanical inputs, which undergo additional debouncing of the signal as a result.
