In advanced manufacturing sectors such as high-speed sorting, robotic pick-and-place, and automotive assembly, the EPP1018-0001 allows for 8 digital inputs to be positioned directly at the sensor source. Its ultra-fast 10 µs input filter makes it ideal for capturing high-frequency signals and rapid trigger events. Encapsulated in a robust PA6 polyamide housing with an IP67 rating, this module eliminates the need for protective control cabinets, reducing total system weight and simplifying field wiring in space-constrained environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPP1018-0001 provides 8 digital inputs that comply with EN 61131-2 Type 1\/3 specifications, ensuring compatibility with a vast range of industrial proximity sensors and switches. The device utilizes M8 A-coded 3-pin connectors for sensor interfacing, providing a standardized and vibration-proof connection point. Sensor power is drawn directly from the control voltage (Us) provided by the EtherCAT P line, with an integrated 0.5 A short-circuit-proof supply. The dual M8 P-coded bus interfaces allow for efficient daisy-chaining of EtherCAT P devices, facilitating a streamlined \"One Cable Automation\" topology that minimizes cable management complexity on the machine frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEPP1018-0001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtocol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtherCAT P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eM8, 3-pin, A-coded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 µs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 V DC (-15 percent \/ +20 percent)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMax. 0.5 A (Total, Short-circuit proof)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Voltage \"1\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11 to 30 V (6 mA typ. input current)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIP 65, IP 66, IP 67\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 mm x 126 mm x 26.5 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-25 to 60 deg C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 10 µs filter time require special software configuration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 µs filter is a fixed hardware-level characteristic of the EPP1018-0001.
