The EP2339 EtherCAT Box has 16 freely configurable digital inputs or outputs in one device. A filter constant of 3.0 ms is available for the inputs. The outputs are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse polarity. They handle load currents of up to 0.5 A each, although the total current is limited to 4 A. The state of each signal is indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected optionally via M8 (EP2339-0021) or M12 (EP2339-0022) screw type connectors. The sensors are powered by the load voltage UP.
