Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EPP1258-0002 is an EtherCAT P Box module designed for acquiring digital signals from the field level. This IP67-rated industrial I/O device features eight digital inputs operating at 24 V DC, with two of these inputs (channels 0 and 1) offering high-precision timestamping capabilities. The timestamp function enables precise recording of signal edges with a resolution of 1 ns, making it ideal for high-speed capture and precise synchronization across EtherCAT P networks.

By combining communication and power into a single cable (EtherCAT P), the BECKHOFF EPP1258-0002 reduces cabling complexity, lowers installation overhead, and minimizes the physical footprint required for decentralized I/O structures. It integrates Distributed Clocks technology, ensuring sub-microsecond synchronization with other devices on the EtherCAT network.

Features

  • Eight digital inputs (24 V DC) for collecting field sensor data
  • Two timestamp-enabled inputs (channels 0 and 1) with 1 ns resolution
  • Single-cable EtherCAT P technology integrating data and power (US/UP)
  • Standard M12 input connections and P-coded M8 bus interfaces
  • Integrated Distributed Clocks (DC) for precise system-wide synchronization
  • Protected design with IP65, IP66, and IP67 environmental protection ratings
  • Built-in sensor supply protection against short circuits

Applications

  • High-speed parts detection and registration mark sensing
  • Decentralized signal acquisition in packaging and assembly machines
  • Industrial robotics and automated handling systems
  • Precise event timing and edge detection in motion control setups

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure the system power supply is completely de-energized before mounting or wiring.
  2. Securely mount the EPP1258-0002 module to the machine frame using appropriate mounting screws.
  3. Connect the EtherCAT P cables to the P-coded M8 bus sockets. Hand-tighten and torque to specification to ensure IP65/66/67 sealing integrity.
  4. Attach the sensor cables to the M12 sockets, verifying proper pin alignment for the A-coded connectors.
  5. Ensure the total sensor current draw from the module does not exceed the rated 0.5 A limit.
  6. Scan the network within TwinCAT System Manager, import the device's ESI XML file if necessary, and map the corresponding process data.
