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.
