Product Description:

The EP2816-0008 EtherCAT Box from Beckhoff provides reliable and versatile digital output control via its 16 robust channels. As part of the established EP Digital Input Series, it couples industrial-grade construction with leading-edge communication capabilities. Each output channel supplies 0.5 A of current while maintaining protection against short circuits. This allows connection of various devices up to the module's total 4 A limit. Channels function safely even in demanding industrial environments, as the polyamide housing withstands temperatures from -25°C to 60°C with IP65/66/67 immunity to dust and moisture.

Beckhoff designed the EP2816-0008 for intuitive use through the open EtherCAT protocol. Its two shielded M8 ports support high-speed 100 Mbps operation over standard twisted-pair cabling or fiber for linking machines across an installation floor. Front-access terminations simplify wiring to the 25-pin D-sub output connector. To assist with management and diagnostics, the module features LEDs visible from the front. Users can easily discern channel status or detect faults. Together with support for distributed clocks, this simplifies synchronization of automated tasks.

With individual overcurrent protection and robust rating down to IP67, the EP2816-0008 constitutes an exceptionally durable and reliable solution for industrial process control. Whether regulating conveyors, mixing systems or HVAC valves, it safely orchestrates sequences with precision in nearly any factory conditions. Certifications by leading regulatory bodies further uphold compliance and quality.
