Product Description:
The EP2816-0003 EP Digital Input Module is manufactured by Beckhoff to provide precise and consistent performance in a wide range of industrial applications. This module features a 2 x M8 socket bus interface, each with 4-pin, a-coded, shielded connections, and its dual interface provides safe and interference-resistant data transfer between system components.
This EP2816-0003 EP Digital Input Module module has 16 output channels, each providing a versatile solution for several signal outputs. The outputs of this module are connected by a spring-loading connector system that ensures secure contact stability and simplifies wiring during installation. The nominal output voltage of this input terminal is 24 V DC and can handle tolerance levels from -15% to +20%, which makes it suitable for varying industrial power conditions without performance loss. Each output channel of this module is capable of handling a maximum output current of 0.5 A. This input module has a built-in short-circuit current limitation of 1.5 A to avoid damage to the system due to excessive current draw. With typical switching times of 25 µs for TON and 50 µs for TOFF, the EP2816-0003 input module provides rapid and precise signal switching, which is ideal for time-critical automation processes. This module draws an auxiliary power current of type. 20 mA plus load to optimize power consumption without sacrificing output performance.
This module features an electrical isolation rated at 500 V to offer strong separation between control and field circuits. Constructed from PA6 (polyamide) material, the EP2816-0003 module offers excellent mechanical strength and durability. This terminal is compliant with EN 60068-2-6 vibration resistance standards to ensure stable operations even in high-vibration industrial setups. Weighing approximately 165 g, this module is easy to handle during system assembly. The IP20 protection rating provides this input module with resistance to solid foreign objects greater than 12 mm.
