EP1008-0022
The EP1008-0022 module from Beckhoff belongs to the EP Digital Input Modules series and serves as a robust interface for industrial automation. This EtherCAT Box features 8-channel input capability with M12 x 1, 5-pin, A-coded sensor connectors and a high-speed EtherCAT protocol for real-time control. With an input filter of 3.0 ms delay and nominal input voltage of 24 V DC, it accurately processes both electronic and mechanical signals, making it ideal for integration into distributed control systems.
Designed with precise technical considerations, the EP1008-0022 offers 2 x M8 socket, 4-pin, A-coded, shielded bus interfaces for reliable network connection and supports a sensor supply current of up to 0.5 A (short-circuit proof). The module’s typical input current is 3 mA per channel and its current consumption from the control voltage is 120 mA. Beckhoff has implemented 500 V isolation between field and bus side to ensure personnel and equipment safety. The compact polyamide housing measures 60 mm x 126 mm x 26.5 mm and weighs approximately 250 g, balancing durability with minimal footprint.
Built to withstand harsh environments, the EP1008-0022 meets IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection ratings against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in challenging industrial settings. It complies with EN 61131-2, type 1/3 standards and carries CE and UL approvals for global deployment. By combining high signal integrity, flexible sensor supply, and robust construction, this module enhances the efficiency and safety of automated processes, streamlining sensor integration across manufacturing and process control applications.
