Product Description:
The EPP2308-0002 is a compact digital output box module produced by Beckhoff for the EPP EtherCAT P Box Modules series. As an EtherCAT P field device, it combines power and communication in one cable and is intended to switch actuators such as indicators, coils, or lamps within distributed control architectures. The unit mounts directly on machinery, reducing cabinet wiring and providing decentralized 24-volt switching functions synchronized with the real-time EtherCAT network used in industrial automation cells.
The bus side communicates through the EtherCAT P interface, so data and the 24 V supply share a single line to simplify plant cabling. Output sockets use 4-pin connectors arranged as keyed M8 couplers; two conductors carry power, while the other two support fieldbus communication. The local I/O ports use the industry-standard M8 thread, allowing premolded sensor leads to connect without special tools. Each channel switches the load at a nominal 24 V DC and can continuously source up to 0.5 A. Electronic short-circuit monitoring disconnects a faulted branch to protect upstream supplies. The driver stage supports resistive, inductive, and lamp loads without additional suppressors.
The module provides 8 outputs through a matching 8-bit process data image that transfers channel states to the PLC. Time alignment is improved by the integrated Distributed Clocks feature, which enables synchronous edge generation across multiple modules on the network. The device uses a positive-switching scheme, so high-side transistors connect the supply to each actuator while the return path remains common. Its short-circuit-proof design protects individual output branches when excessive current is detected. This switching topology provides predictable high-level signals for valves, contactors, and LED columns coordinated through the deterministic EtherCAT cycle.
