Product Description:

The EP2338-1002 from Beckhoff offers reliable digital signal management for industrial applications through its rugged EtherCAT Box design. As part of Beckhoff's EP Digital Input Series, it efficiently supports 8-channel combi signals while maintaining an IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection rating in a compact plastic housing. Weighing approximately 165 grams, the device performs effectively even in demanding situations that subject it to environmental or mechanical stresses.

Utilizing standard digital signal types, the EP2338-1002 handles inputs and outputs with individual channels capable of withstanding 0.5 amps of output current each. Its wide operating temperature range from -25 to +60 degrees Celsius allows year-round deployment in heated facilities or uninsulated outdoor spaces. Through optimized circuitry, the unit provides stable 3 millisecond typical filtering across all channels to minimize signal interference.

Beckhoff's EP2338-1002 integrates seamlessly into distributed control architectures using high-speed EtherCAT communication hardware and software. Configuration remains straightforward through supported programming platforms. Its plastic casing and connecting hardware withstand stringent testing to exceed harsh condition standards like IEC 60068-2-6 for resonance vibrations. Likewise, Beckhoff designs the interior printed circuit boards for mechanical stability far beyond typical usage profiles. Explosion-proof certification alongside UL approvals make the EP2338-1002 suitable even for volatile applications in chemical plants, refineries, mining facilities, or grain handling areas. Screw terminal connections provide a secure and reliable interface to signal cabling.
