Product Description:
Beckhoff's EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box digital input module is designed for industrial automation applications that demand precise signal capture and sensor monitoring. The EtherCAT Box easily integrates into EtherCAT networks for efficient data transmission and control.
The EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box offers 16 digital inputs via a 25-pin D-sub socket with UNC4-40 threading. The module accepts 24 V DC and can tolerate -15% to +20%. Each input includes a 10 µs filter to provide reliable signal processing. According to EN 61131-2, type 3, the module accepts "0" signal voltages ranging from -3 V to +5 V and "1" from 11 V to 30 V. The input current is typically 3 mA. The box includes two 3-axis accelerometers with adjustable ranges of ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g, and ±16 g. They have 10-bit resolution and a sample frequency of 1 Hz to 5 kHz. The module has short-circuit protection and sensors driven by a control voltage of 0.5. Distributed clocks provide for exact EtherCAT network synchronization. M8 connectors are used to connect power supplies, with male feed and female downstream sockets. The module draws 120 mA from the supply voltage and features 500 V electrical isolation.
The EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box supports many installation positions and offers IP65/66/67 protection. The module is 30 mm by 126 mm by 26.5 mm and is made of PA6 polyamide. This fulfills the EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. Undervoltage detection for supply and auxiliary voltages informs the controller. The digital input module is CE and UL certified. The digital input module's integrated accelerometers and strong electrical isolation make it perfect for precise input signal recording and real-time vibration or tilt monitoring. The EtherCAT Box, which includes integrated distributed clocks and IP67 protection, is ideal for demanding automation activities.
