Product Description

The EP2028-0032 module from Beckhoff provides reliable digital outputs for industrial automation applications. As part of their EP Digital Input Series, it utilizes EtherCAT communication for seamless integration into distributed control systems. Featuring 8 independent output channels, each supports up to 2.8 amps of current for a total capacity of 16 amps across all outputs simultaneously. This makes the unit well-suited to drive a wide range of loads.

Through dual M8 connectors, the EP2028-0032 enables robust connectivity even in challenging environments. Ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads pose no issue for the module's versatile short-circuit proof design. A nominal 24 volt DC output operates within a -15% to +20% voltage tolerance to keep devices functioning as expected. Fast switching times of 200 microseconds both on and off allow for responsive control of processes.

Rated for an operating temperature range from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius, the EP2028-0032 can be deployed in a variety of ambient conditions. Its green PCB and metal housing make a tidy package measuring just 60 by 150 by 26.5 millimeters as well. Meeting stringent IP65, IP66, and IP67 ingress protection standards, the module withstands dust, pressure-jets of water, and temporary water immersion to 1 meter. Beckhoff's robust design carries benefits for both simple and complex applications. Arborized screws clamp the unit's connectors securely despite mechanical stresses. Optimal protection even in harsh washdown environments makes the EP2028-0032 resilient for use near chemicals or outside areas. Indoor control cabinet installations proceed smoothly as well through DIN rail attachment.
