Product Description:
The EP1258-0502 is an industrial digital input unit from Beckhoff in the EP Digital Input Modules series. It is designed for decentralized I/O architectures where sensor signals must be collected close to the machine. The module forwards discrete status changes over the control network so PLCs and motion controllers can respond in real time.
The unit operates from a nominal supply of 24 V DC and provides 8 input channels for monitoring switches, proximity sensors, and other binary devices. Current draw is limited to 120 mA, which helps conserve available control power in distributed installations. The integrated sensor supply can deliver up to 0.5 A, and communication uses EtherCAT through dual M8 connections for compact network wiring.
For event capture, the controller uses the Multi-Timestamp function and can record up to 32 signal edges between control cycles. This preserves short pulses during rapid sequences and improves event visibility when several sensors change states together. The inputs follow EN 61131-2 Type 1/3, supporting reliable switching behavior with common industrial sensors. Its housing measures 30 mm x 126 mm x 26.5 mm, giving the module a narrow profile that fits neatly on machine frames and other space-limited mounting areas.
Wake Industrial stocks this module and offers same-day shipping when required. Each purchase includes a 1-year warranty, and the chat tool available on the website can be used for questions about type codes or fault codes. Its decentralized form can also reduce cabinet wiring by placing I/O closer to the sensors it serves.
