EP2028-0032 - Introduction
8-channel digital output, 24 VDC, 2.8 A
The EP2028-0032 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 outputs handle an output current of up to max. 2.8 A. A short-term overload is possible. The outputs are short-circuit proof. The sum current of all outputs is limited to 16 A. 7/8" connectors are used to feed in and feed out the supply voltage.
The signal state of the channels is indicated by LEDs. The signal connection is established via screw-type M12 connectors. One channel is available per M12 socket.
Two digital outputs are available on each M12 socket. The same two digital outputs are also available on an adjacent M12 socket. This enables different connection variants, see chapter M12 sockets of EP2028-0032:
- A separate connection cable for each actuator
- One common connection cable for two actuators
The EP2028-0032 is interference-free. You can use the EP2028-0032 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)"
