Product Description

Description

Designed for decentralized industrial automation environments, the EPP2028-0001 digital output module interfaces directly with EtherCAT P systems to control up to eight actuators or field components. By combining high-speed communication and peripheral power (Us and Up) into a single, specialized M8 cable connection, this unit minimizes wiring complexity and installation footprints. The module handles individual channel currents up to 2 A, supporting diverse load profiles including resistive, inductive, and lamp loads with integrated short-circuit protection.

Housed in a robust, compact enclosure, this EtherCAT P box is built for direct machine mounting without the need for a protective control cabinet. Its high environmental resistance makes it suitable for demanding, distributed control architectures where space is at a premium and field-level reliability is critical.

Features

Eight independent digital outputs operating at 24 V DC.
P-coded M8 EtherCAT P interfaces integration, supplying both system logic and peripheral power over one cable.
Robust IP65, IP66, and IP67 rating for operation in harsh, wet, or dusty environments.
Short-circuit proof individual output channels with a typical short-circuit current limit of 15 A.
Broad load compatibility across ohmic, inductive, and lamp load types.
Direct machine installation using standardized mounting holes, eliminating the cabinet requirement.

Applications

Automotive assembly lines and robotic work cells.
Decentralized conveyor systems and material handling.
Packaging machinery and bottling plants.
Industrial food processing equipment requiring washdown capabilities.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting: Mount directly to the machine frame using two M3 screws through the integrated mounting holes. Ensure the surface is flat to prevent mechanical stress on the housing.
Grounding: Establish a low-resistance functional earth connection at the mounting points or via the dedicated grounding lug to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Cabling: Only use certified, shielded EtherCAT P M8 cables. Maintain a minimum bending radius to prevent cable degradation.
Torque: Hand-tighten all M8 connectors, then secure to the specified torque (approx. 0.4 Nm) using a torque wrench to guarantee IP67 protection. Do not leave unused ports uncovered; seal them with protective caps.

FAQ

What is the primary difference between a standard EtherCAT Box and the EPP2028-0001 EtherCAT P Box?

The EPP2028-0001 uses EtherCAT P technology, which integrates both communication data and two independent 24 V DC power supplies (Us for system logic, Up for peripheral actuators) into a single, specialized 4-wire P-coded M8 connection. This eliminates the need for separate power cabling.

What is the maximum output current limit per channel on the EPP2028-0001?

The module supports up to 2 A per individual channel, though the cumulative output current across all channels must not exceed 3 A.

Does the EPP2028-0001 feature integrated protection against short circuits?

Yes, all eight output channels are individually short-circuit proof, with a typical short-circuit current limit of 15 A.

Can this module be mounted directly in washdown or high-dust environments?

Yes, with its IP65, IP66, and IP67 ratings (conforming to EN 60529), the EPP2028-0001 is completely sealed against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for direct machine mounting without an enclosure.
