Product Description:

This compact device provides reliable connectivity and input/output capabilities for automation environments. Manufactured as part of Beckhoff's renowned EP Digital Input Series, the EP2308-0000 supports the high-speed EtherCAT communication protocol. Offering four electrically isolated inputs and four outputs, it provides the flexibility needed for many applications. Weighing in at a mere 165 grams and boasting an extremely durable design, this module is suited to tackle demanding conditions.

The a-coded M8 connections provide sturdy interfacing for wiring while upholding IP65/66/67 standards. This ensures the device withstands moisture, dust, and other harsh particles common in industrial settings. With a versatile 24V DC operating voltage, projects spanning industries are well-supported. Four digital filter settings including 3.0ms deliver accurate, deterministic data acquisition even under difficult conditions. Short-circuit protection for each individual channel and the total supply further reinforce reliable performance.

With 120mA of current draw, deployment remains simple and cost-effective. Its compact profile also allows for placement in tight mechanical confines. On the input side, the module accommodates both safety extra-low voltage inputs as well as standard signals. This maximizes compatibility with a vast array of field devices. Faultless communication and flexible I/O processing are enabled through technologies such as servo drive synchronization and open source TwinCAT software. Throughput stays fast thanks to fast 50μs and 100μs switching times. Additional advantages include LED status indication, removable wiring blocks for simplified connection tasks, and parameter memory backup for seamless replacement. Processors benefit from high noise immunity of up to 30V on the inputs while accurate signal transmission to outputs persists down to 3V low levels. Adherence to globally recognized safety and functional standards moreover gives engineers full peace of mind.
