Product Description

The Beckhoff EP6224-2022 presents an optimal solution for digital data handling on the factory floor through best-in-class IO-Link connectivity. As an element of Beckhoff's EP Digital Input Series, it combines robust construction and strict certification with high-performance communication capabilities. Centered around EtherCAT's high-speed distributed clock synchronization, the EP6224-2022 multiplies available sensor data via four IO-Link interfaces supporting interchangeable Class A devices. Class-leading data rates from 4.8kBaud to 230kBaud maximize information volume even under cyclic demands.

Drawing a humble 130mA from its protected 24V power rail, the module endows connected nodes with autonomous 1.4A supplies. Combined with industry-leading -25°C to 60°C tolerance, this allows for reliable field deployment. IP67 enclosure integrity safeguards performance in challenging environments through resistance to dust, water, and chemicals. Strict EN/UL-listed EMC and vibration testing further assure reliability across shifting plant conditions.

Once configured through TwinCAT's user-friendly programming, the EP6224-2022 autonomously scans sensors at deterministic speeds. Health monitoring aids predictive servicing through early fault detection. Whether aggregated at a frontend or distributed at endpoints, the EP6224-2022 scalable multiplies machine insights through high-speed sensor fusion under the harshest conditions with industry-leading compliance.
