Description

Designed for decentralized automation tasks requiring dense digital output distribution directly in the field, the Beckhoff EP2816-0010 EtherCAT Box provides 16 digital outputs in a robust, space-saving enclosure. This IP65/66/67-rated module connects binary control signals from the EtherCAT network directly to actuators and devices, eliminating the need for protective control cabinets and minimizing complex field cabling.

Featuring two 9-pin D-sub socket connections, this module is specifically optimized for direct, hassle-free interfaces with multi-pin connector valve terminals and pneumatic manifold systems. The outputs support ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads with integrated short-circuit protection and electrical isolation up to 500 V, making it highly reliable in demanding manufacturing and process environments.

Features

16 digital output channels in a highly compact, direct-to-field mountable housing.
Equipped with two 9-pin D-sub socket connectors tailored for multi-pin valve manifolds.
Individually short-circuit proof outputs with 0.5 A maximum output current per channel.
Integrated Distributed Clocks functionality for precise synchronization across the EtherCAT network.
Rugged environmental design with IP65, IP66, and IP67 ingress protection ratings.
EtherCAT communication interface utilizing shielded, screw-type M8 sockets.

Applications

Direct integration with pneumatic valve terminals and manifold systems.
Decentralized actuator control in automotive assembly and robotic lines.
Field-level I/O processing in material handling and packaging systems.
General manufacturing automation requiring direct, cabinet-free mounting.
