The EP2008 EtherCAT Box with digital outputs connects binary control signals from the controller on to the actuators at the process level. The eight outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A and indicate their status through light emitting diodes. The signals are optionally connected via M8 (EP2008-0001) or M12 (EP2008-0002) screw type connectors. The outputs are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse connection.
