Introduction
Combined digital inputs and outputs
The EPP2338-2002 EtherCAT P Box has eight digital channels, which can each be operated as an input or output. It is not necessary to configure whether a channel is to be used as input or output. The input circuit is permanently connected to the output driver internally so that a set output is also automatically displayed in the input process image.
The outputs process load currents up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit proof and protected against polarity reversal.
The filter constant of the inputs is 10 µs.
The signal state is indicated by means of LEDs. The signals are connected via M12 connectors.
