Product Description

The EP1809-0042 EtherCAT Box is a 16 channel digital input module. The module uses M12 screw type connectors and supports electronic and mechanical input signals. It connects through D coded M12 sockets for EtherCAT communication.

The Beckhoff EP1809-0042 EtherCAT box features two M12 sockets 4 pin D coded for the bus interface. It follows the EN 61131-2 type 1/3 specifications. The module is equipped with 16 digital inputs using M12 5 pin a-coded connectors. The box operates of DC voltage of 24 V with 15 – 20% tolerance. The model’s input filter of 3.0 ms ensures effective signal debouncing. The "0" signal voltage range is between - 3 V and + 5 V. The "1" signal voltage range is between 11 V and 30 V. The EtherCAT box features digital inputs that consume a typical current of 3 mA per channel designed in accordance with EN 61131-2 Type 3 input specifications. Each input supports reliable signal recognition even under field conditions with high electrical noise. The status of every input channel is individually indicated through integrated LEDs positioned directly adjacent to the terminals. This enables precise real time monitoring of input states during operation and diagnostics. Use this box under the recommended working conditions and with the accessories suggested by Beckhoff.

Sensors connected to the EP1809-0042 EtherCAT box are supplied with 0.5 A in total by an internal short circuit proof driver module. The device's compact and rugged design ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The integrated input filter makes the EP series EtherCAT box highly suitable for both electronic and mechanical switches by reducing bouncing effects.
