EP2839-0042 - Introduction
16-channel digital output 24 VDC with diagnosis
The EP2839-0042 EtherCAT 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 16 outputs each handle an output current of up to max. 0.5 A. A short-term overload is possible. The outputs are short-circuit proof. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 16 A. The signal state of the channels is indicated by LEDs. The signal connection is established via screw-type M12 connectors. Two channels are available per M12 socket. Each output channel reports an "Open load" error or short circuit to the PLC via diagnosis. This diagnosis can be switched off channel by channel. Module-related undervoltage detection of the supply voltage takes place. The EP2839-0042 has M12 EtherCAT connections and 7/8-inch connectors for the power supply.
Special features:
- Short-circuit and open-load detection per channel
- adjustable diagnosis per channel
- Undervoltage detection
The EP2839-0042 is interference-free. You can use the EP2839-0042 instead of an interference-free standard terminal in accordance with the following chapters of the TwinSAFE Application Guide:
- "All-pole disconnection of a potential group with downstream interference-free standard terminals (Category 4, PL e)"
- "Single-pole disconnection of a potential group with downstream interference-free standard terminals with fault exclusion (Category 4, PL e)"
- „EL2911 potential group with interference-free standard terminals (Category 4, PL e)"
