Serving as a robust EtherCAT slave device, this EtherCAT Box provides 8 digital inputs via M8 connectivity, specifically tailored for automated systems where space is at a premium and environmental protection is required. By eliminating the need for traditional control cabinets in localized sensing zones, the EP1008-0001 significantly reduces field wiring labor and material costs, providing a streamlined, modular approach to industrial data acquisition in harsh operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware architecture of the EP1008-0001 supports high-speed EtherCAT communication via dual M8 shielded sockets, allowing for efficient daisy-chaining in decentralized topologies. It adheres to EN 61131-2 Type 3 input specifications, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of industrial sensors and proximity switches. The module manages its own sensor supply from the control voltage, providing a maximum of 0.5 A with integrated short-circuit protection for the total load. Input filtering is factory-set to 3.0 ms to ensure noise immunity and reliable signal detection in environments subjected to electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEP1008-0001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEtherCAT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 61131-2, Type 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-25 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mm x 126 mm x 26.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the EP1008-0001 compatible with standard M8 sensors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the module is equipped with 3-pin, A-coded M8 sockets, which are compatible with the vast majority of standard industrial 24 V DC sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this module require a separate power supply for the inputs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inputs are powered from the control voltage supply fed through the M8 power interface.
