Product Description:

The Beckhoff EP2338-1001 EtherCAT Box provides eight versatile combi channels suited for a wide variety of digital input applications. Its robust construction lends durability even in demanding industrial environments and extreme operating conditions. Each combi channel features a flexible 24 V digital value range along with 0.5 A of output current, making them capable of interfacing with a diverse array of field devices. Signal processing is swift and accurate thanks to a typical 3.0 ms digital filter time. Ensuring reliable operation, the EP2338-1001 withstands temperatures from -25°C to 60°C.

With IP65/IP66/IP67 protection, the plastic housing shields connected wiring and electronics from dust, water, and other particle infiltration. This allows for use in areas with challenging atmospheric presences. Approvals include UL and CE compliance as well as explosion protection specs. Installing and configuring the EP2338-1001 is straightforward through its implementation of the widely adopted EtherCAT industrial Ethernet standard. This provides fast, synchronized communication at up to 100 Mbit/s for seamless integration into demanding automation applications. Positive switching DIO channels lend flexibility and noise immunity.

Input wiring terminates at robust M8 connection points for reliable long-term coupling with field devices. The compact 30 mm width affords integration into tightly packed control panels. Setup and maintenance benefit from easy front-panel access to terminals and diagnostic LEDs. With eight powerful and protected combi inputs in a rugged, DIN-rail mountable housing, the EP2338-1001 handles digital signals with accuracy and resilience. Its combination of speed, compatibility, and durability offers an optimal solution for factory-floor data collection in nearly any environment.
