Product Description

The Beckhoff EP6224-0002 delivers reliable digital input acquisition for industrial automation and control applications. As part of the EP Digital Input Series, it supports high-speed EtherCAT communications, allowing integration into complex distributed systems. Ruggedized with IP65/66/67 protection, the EP6224-0002 withstands vibrations, moisture, and contaminants on the factory floor. Its extended -25°C to 60°C operating temperature scope accommodates processing zones without external heating and cooling.

Leveraging four high-density M12 ports, complex machine controllers can scale input points across large footprints cost-effectively. Quick 10μs signal filtering and 24V nominal voltage standards help ensure accurate and consistent readings from various field devices. Compliance with IO-Link V1.1 Class A speeds sensor diagnostics and parameterization functions, lowering long-term costs. Individual devices now provide plug-and-play replacements without specialized know-how. Meanwhile, EtherCAT updates diagnostic information bi-directionally for predictive maintenance use cases.

Weighing only 165g, the EP6224-0002 demands minimal distributed I/O module space and power. Overall, its balance of sensor, protocol, and industrial-grade attributes make it well-suited for applications such as packing lines, injection molding, and warehouse logistics equipment monitoring.
