Introduction
Digital output
The EPP2816-0010 EtherCAT P 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 outputs handle an output current of up to max. 0.5 A. A short-term overload is possible. The outputs are short-circuit proof. An output short-circuit is recognized and passed on to the control level. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 3 A.
The signal state is indicated for signal groups by means of LEDs. The signal connection is established through two 9-pin D-sub sockets. The 2x8-channel design offers high channel density in a small space. Two D-sub connectors enable cost-efficient, decentralized connection, e.g. of 8-channel valve terminals in the field.
