The EP2316 EtherCAT Box combines eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs in one device. A filter constant of 10 µs is available for the inputs. The outputs handle load currents of up to 0.5 A, are short-circuit-proof and protected against inverse polarity. Signal state and status are indicated by means of light emitting diodes. The signals are connected via a 25-pin D-sub socket.
