EP2816-00xx | 16-channel digital output 24 V DC, IMAX = 0.5 A (∑ 4 A)

The EP2816 EtherCAT Box with digital outputs connects the binary control signals from the controller on to the actuators at the process level. The sixteen outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A each, although the total current is limited to 4 A. This makes these modules particularly suitable for applications in which not all of the outputs are active at the same time, or in which not all of the actuators draw 0.5 A current. An output short-circuit is recognised and passed on to the controller.

The signal state is indicated in groups by means of light emitting diodes. The signal connection is realised by a 25-pin D-sub socket (EP2816-0008) or two 9-pin D-sub sockets (EP2816-0010). All outputs are short-circuit-proof, protected against inverse connection and can be diagnosed.
