Introduction
EPP2338-0001
EPP2338-0002
Combined digital inputs and outputs
The EPP2338-000x 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 optionally connected via M8 connectors (EPP2338-0001) or M12 connectors (EPP2338-0002).
 | Supply of the connected sensors from UP, not from US In contrast to many other modules, the EPP2338-000x 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 supply (current > 0.5 A) is also indicated here by red lighting of the LED US. |
