Product Description

Beckhoff Automation is an engineering company that uses state-of-the-art technology to produce cost-efficient products that solve industrial automation problems and maintain high operation performance for long periods of time. With more than 30 years of experience, the company's innovations are widely adopted worldwide. The EPP1809-0021 is an EtherCAT P box module manufactured on top of the already existing EtherCAT technology developed by Bosch Rexroth In 2003. This product contains 16 digital inputs, which it uses to carry binary control signals from the process level and transfer them to the controller while maintaining electrical isolation. The communicates operation status in real-time through the light emitting diodes (LEDs)integrated into its housing unit. The nominal supply voltage is about 24 volts. Also, the maximum current is 3 amperes while the current consumption from the supply voltage is approximately 100 milliamperes.

The digital input connections on the EPP1809-0021 EtherCAT box are type 3 connections according to EN 61131-2. These digital inputs have an input filter of about 3.0 milliseconds; they also operate with a sensor voltage that is between +11 to +30 volts during operation. Unlike conventional connection devices, this product is built to withstand extreme industrial conditions; its housing meets the IP65 protection class and can provide complete protection against dust and even water splashes.

The EPP1809-0021 EtherCAT P box module operates at an ambient temperature that is between -25 to +60 degree Celsius; during storage, this permissible ambient temperature extends to -40 to +85 degree Celsius. The product allows for variable installation, although two mounting holes 3.5 millimeters from each other might be required. The product weighs approximately 250 grams.
