Product Description:

The Beckhoff EP2316-0003 provides a robust solution for digital input and output applications. As part of the EP Digital Input Series, it contains 16 channels that facilitate fast and reliable communication via EtherCAT. Each channel supports a value range of 24 volts and is engineered to withstand demanding industrial environments. The plastic housing measures 30mm wide by 126mm tall and 26.5mm deep, contributing to the model's compact size well-suited for space-constrained control cabinet installations. Both the housing and internal components are designed to function optimally across a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to 60°C. This extended thermal capability allows the EP2316-0003 to perform consistently in diverse industrial settings from chilled warehouses to outdoor applications.

All connections utilize industry-standard M8 configurations for quick installation and maintenance. Power and downstream communications are handled through four-pin male and female sockets respectively while compact mounting points accept M3 fasteners. Straightforward cabling and installation minimize downtime during setup and servicing. Various approvals including UL certification provide assurance that stringent safety and quality control standards have been met. Within the housing, precision circuitry supports an input filter timescale of just 10 microseconds, expediting digital signals with minimal delay. This exceptional filtering capability coupled with 16 input/output points and robust EtherCAT interface maximize throughput for high-speed automation needs. Additionally, the model offers overcurrent protection up to 0.5 amps of output current to prevent damage under fault conditions.

Reliable winter and summer functionality down to -25°C and up to 60°C creates deployment options in diverse process environments requiring network connectivity. The EP2316-0003 serves continuous monitoring and control for applications involving chilled storage, manufacturing areas with inconsistent temperatures, and industrial machinery operating outdoors year-round.
