EP2338-000x | 8-channel digital input or output 24 V DC, freely configurable

The EP2338 EtherCAT Box has eight freely configurable digital inputs or outputs in one device. A filter constant of 10 µs is available for the inputs. The outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse polarity. The state of each signal is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected optionally via screw type M8 connectors (EP2338-0001) or connector M12 screw type (EP2338-0002). The sensors are powered by the load voltage UP.
