EP1839-0042 | EtherCAT Box, 16-channel digital input, 24В VВ DC, M12, with diagnostics

The EP1839-0042 EtherCAT Box with 16 digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The signal state is indicated by LEDs. The signals are connected via M12 screw type connectors. An open-circuit recognition can be enabled/disabled for each channel. The signal input filters are individually adjustable. Each M12 socket has an independent 24В VВ DC/0.5В A short-circuit proof sensor supply from the US for the two connected sensors. This is monitored and any errors are reported to the PLC via diagnostics. Module-related undervoltage detection of the input voltage takes place. The load voltage UP is not used in the input module, but it can optionally be connected for forwarding and is fed through to the next device. Due to the adjustable input filter and the comprehensive supply and diagnostics logic, the EP1839-0042 is particularly suitable for applications in which a high plant availability and thus fast fault-finding and troubleshooting are required. The EP1839-0042 has M12 D-coded EtherCAT connections and 7/8′ connectors for the power supply.
