Product Description

The EP1018-0001 digital input module from Beckhoff offers a robust and reliable solution for industrial automation applications. As part of Beckhoff's extensive EP Digital Input Series, the module supports eight positive switching inputs and features a nominal input voltage of 24 V DC with an impressively swift 10μs input filter. This allows the module to efficiently handle digital signals in demanding environments. Weighing in at a lightweight yet durable 165 grams, the compact design of the EP1018-0001 module makes it easy to integrate into tight spaces. Its 10μs input filter ensures even the fastest signals are read clearly and without issue. The module operates efficiently within an industry-leading temperature range from -25 to +60 degrees Celsius, far exceeding expectations for ruggedness.

But robustness is only part of the story - the EP1018-0001 also protects against the harshest conditions through its military-grade IP65/66/67 enclosure rating. Completely dust-tight and resistant to powerful waterjets from any direction, the module can be trusted to perform for years without maintenance. Further tests by Beckhoff prove the module withstands punishing vibration in compliance with EN 60068-2-6 as well as mechanical shock up to 50G in accordance with EN 60068-2-27. It also adheres to strict EMC standards for immunity and low emissions per EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. Global certifications from CE, UL, and ATEX further affirm the module's reliability and suitability for virtually any industry.

Engineers can feel confident specifying the EP1018-0001 for even the most unforgiving factory environments. Its ability to seamlessly read eight digital inputs with microsecond accuracy while rejecting electrical noise and weathering temperature extremes sets it apart. The module proves its value beyond initial savings, as its military-grade shielding and ultra robust construction helps eliminate unplanned downtime. Minimal maintenance is required over a lifetime of continuous operation in even the harshest conditions imaginable. Versatile, durable, and backed by a global leader in industrial automation, the EP1018-0001 digital input module delivers uncompromising performance that just works
