Introduction
EPP2338-1001
EPP2338-1002
8-channel digital combi, 24 VDC, 3 ms, 0.5 A
The EPP2338-100x 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 3 ms.
The signal state is indicated by means of LEDs. The signals are connected via screw-type M8 connectors (EPP2338-1001) or M12 connectors (EPP2338-1002).
 | Supply of the connected sensors from UP, not from US In contrast to many other modules, the EPP2338-100x EtherCAT P Box modules supply digital sensors from the peripheral voltage UP, rather than from the control voltage US! This is because the connections can be used either as input or output. Nevertheless, an overload of the sensor power supply (current > 0.5 A) is also indicated here by red lighting of the LED US. |

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.
