Product Description

EPP2316-0008 is an industrial EtherCAT P Box. It is designed and produced by Beckhoff Automation. Inputs on the unit have a 10 microsecond filter. Outputs on the unit can handle load currents of up to 0.5 A. The digital outputs provide short-circuit protection and inverse polarity protection. The signal status can be displayed via an optional plug connector. Excluding connectors, the dimensions of the EPP2316-0008 box are 30 x 126 x 26.5 millimeters. Its shipping weight is 165 grams. PA6 polyamide material is used for the box’s construction. Variable installation positions can be used during deployment. The operating ambient temperature range is from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius. The recommended storage temperature is from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. LED indicators provide signal state and module status.

There are 8 digital inputs on the box. Signals connect to the EPP2316-0008 box via a 25-pin D-sub socket. The cable length for input connections can go up to 30 meters. Signal voltage levels for 0 and 1 states are-3 to 5 and 11 to 30 Volts DC. The input current is 6 milliamps at 24 Volts. The sensor power supply is 24 Volt with maximum 0.5 Amps current. Short circuit protection is available. There are 8 digital outputs on the box. Signals connect to the EtherCAT box via a 25-pin D-sub socket. The cable length for digital output connections can go up to 30 meters. Supported loads types include lamps, inductive and ohmic. The typical switching time for the on state is 60 microseconds. The typical switching time for the off state is 300 microseconds. The EPP2316-0008 box supports output diagnostics. Protection rating of the unit is IP67.
