Product Description
The Beckhoff EJ2809-0000 module facilitates the connection of binary control signals from automation devices to actuators. It is an EtherCAT plug-in module with 16 channels, each equipped with LEDs that indicate signal states for easy monitoring. The multiple outputs allow for the simultaneous operation of multiple devices, making the module suitable for applications that require numerous control points. Each output can be individually managed, providing flexibility in controlling different load types. The module is designed to deliver a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel. This ensures that each of the 16 channels can effectively drive various loads without exceeding their current limits.
This unit is built to enhance overall system flexibility. It supports the connection of various load types, including ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads. This versatility allows the module to interface with a wide range of actuators and devices, accommodating different operational requirements. For enhanced reliability, the module features overload and short-circuit-proof outputs. This ensures that the module can protect itself and the connected devices by automatically shutting down or isolating the affected channel in case of faulty voltage. Reverse polarity protection is also integrated into the module, preventing damage if the power supply connections are accidentally reversed.
The EJ2809-0000 plug-in module operates at a rated load voltage of 24 V DC, with a tolerance range of -15% to +20%. This allows for flexibility in various applications, accommodating voltage fluctuations without impacting performance. It typically consumes 110 mA from the E-bus, minimizing energy usage. It is easy to integrate into various automation systems without adding significant bulk or strain since it only weighs 30 g. It also features shock and vibration resistance, allowing safe use in demanding industrial conditions.
