Product Description

The Beckhoff EP1809-0022 digital input module offers robust and flexible connectivity for industrial applications. As part of the EP Digital Input Series, it provides 16 channels to reliably communicate process sensor data via EtherCAT. Each opto-isolated channel supports a 24 volt rating while onboard circuitry filters signals with minimal 3 millisecond latency. Weighing approximately 250 grams, the compact plastic housing secures internal components for consistent functionality. Sealed to IP65, IP66, and IP67 specifications, its durable construction withstands dust, water, and other demanding environmental factors. Rated for extended temperatures from -25°C to 60°C, the EP1809-0022 accommodates variable indoor and outdoor conditions.

Versatile wiring possibilities simplify installation through either 2-wire or 3-wire connection methods. Swift setup aligns with the module's focus on precise data acquisition from automated processes and machinery. M12 ports facilitate quick attachment of field-level sensors while an M8 interface manages high-speed EtherCAT data exchange. 16 input channels maximize versatility for applications involving sequential control, filling systems, and adaptive production equipment. Individual circuit boards securely connect each signal and filter at 3 milliseconds for synchronized monitoring. Minimal latency between physical events and networked responses streamlines coordination between control systems and peripherals.

Worldwide safety approvals including UL certification provide additional peace of mind. Strict manufacturing standards ensure years of continuous operation indoors or out. An assortment of mounting clips allows distributed arrangement on control cabin roofs, process frames, or enclosures for equipment spread across large facilities. All connective capabilities from multi-pronged wiring to IP-rated housing culminate in a solution ideal for demanding process automation. Cost-effective performance supports applications involving food handling, wastewater, automotive, and more through prompt digitization of operational conditions at each stage.
