EP2308-, EP2318-000x | 4 x digital input + 4 x digital output 24 V DC, IMAX = 0.5 A

The EP2308 and EP2318 EtherCAT Box modules combine four digital inputs and four digital outputs in one device. Various filter constants are available for the inputs. The outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse polarity. The state of each signal is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected optionally via screw type M8 connectors (EP23x8-0001) or connector M12 screw type (EP23x8-0002).
