Introduction

Introduction 1:

16-channel digital combi, 24 VDC, 3 ms, 0.5 A, IP20 connector

The EtherCAT P Box EPP2339-0003 has 16 digital channels, each of which can be configured as either an input or an output. A configuration whether a channel is to be used as input or output is not required; the input circuit is internally permanently connected to the output driver so that a set output is automatically displayed in the input process image.

The outputs are short-circuit proof and protected against polarity reversal and process load currents up to 0.5 A, whereby the total current is limited to 3 A. The signals are connected via spring-loaded connectors. The connectors with spring-loaded technology are available in 1 and 3-pin versions. The EPP2339-0003 is supplied without connectors.

Sensors are supplied from the peripheral voltage UP.

Notice

Damage to sensitive signal transducers due to current peaks

The protective circuit of a digital input can cause an inrush current peak of well over 2 mA during the switching operation. This current spike can damage sensitive signal transducers such as reed switches.

  • When using sensitive signal transducers, insert a series resistor before the digital input to reduce the inrush current peak. E.g. 1 kΩ
