Product Description:
The EPP1008-0001 is a digital input EtherCAT P box module from Beckhoff in the EPP EtherCAT P Box Modules series. In an automation cell, it acts as an IP-rated remote node that collects switching states from proximity switches, push buttons, or limit contacts and transmits them over the EtherCAT P network without requiring a control cabinet. By combining data transmission and 24 V system power on one cable, the unit simplifies wiring in conveyor lines, packaging machines, and mobile equipment.
The module provides 8 digital inputs through galvanically isolated channels that conform to Type 3 of EN 61131-2 and remain compatible with Type 1 sensors. The housing measures 30 × 126 × 26.5 mm, so it can be mounted next to actuators in tight spaces. Field communications and backfed power reach the electronics through two P-coded M8 sockets designed for EtherCAT P. All user sensors connect to individual four-pin M8 sockets on the front face. The module filters every incoming signal with a 3.0 ms debounce stage to suppress contact chatter. Its enclosure carries an IP65/IP66/IP67 rating for protection against dust and water. Each input draws 6 mA at 24 VDC, matching the requirements of common inductive sensors.
Internal power domains are separated into Up for the sensor supply and Us for the logic supply. The sensor line provides up to 0.5 A at 24 VDC, providing sufficient capacity for multiple three-wire proximity switches. Aggregate upstream current on the Up pins is limited to 3 A, and the same 3 A limit applies to the Us domain that feeds the electronics. The device itself draws only 100 mA from the control rail. Surplus power can pass through to downstream boxes, allowing the modules to be arranged in a daisy chain. The casing is molded from PA6, while both power rails operate at the same nominal 24 V level. Standard EtherCAT P cables can therefore carry the required power and communication signals without separate conductors.
