Product Description:

The Beckhoff’s EP2001-0000 EtherCAT Box is a powerful and efficient digital output module which is ideal for managing automation processes. It’s part of the EP series by Beckhoff which designs highly innovative industrial automation systems as a solution for complex problems.

This EP2001-0000 EtherCAT Box protocol ensures high-speed communication which is suitable for various industrial environments. It provides eight digital outputs each capable of handling up to 0.5 A with reliable short-circuit protection to prevent system damage. The outputs are compatible with various load types by including resistive, inductive, and lamp loads. This feature helps in making it versatile across different applications. It operates on a nominal 24 V DC power supply with a tolerance error range of -15% to +20% by ensuring stability even in varying power conditions. This EtherCAT digital input module has connection options that include two M8 4-pin sockets for bus interfacing and eight 3-pin M8 connections for output. These compact connectors provide easy wiring and setup in tight spaces. The module’s switching times are efficient with typical on and off times of 50 µs and 100 µs by ensuring quick response to control commands.

This EP2001-0000 EtherCAT Box built with PA6 polyamide housing and it also meets IP65/66/67 protection ratings by safeguarding it from dust and water exposure. It operates within a broad temperature range of -25 to +60°C and conforms to both vibration and shock resistance standards that are highly suitable for harsh industrial conditions. Its safety approvals for CE, UL and ATEX make it compliant for use in different regulated setups. It’s very easy to install and has a simple design with two mounting holes for M3 screws. It has a light weight that is easy to handle in limited space setups.
