The ED2008 digital output terminal connects the binary 24 V DC control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. The EtherCAT Terminal has eight channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes (status LEDs). The power contacts are looped through internally. In the ED2008 the outputs are supplied via the 24 V DC power contact.
Special features:
- suitable for controlling different types of loads:
- resistive loads (e.g., resistors)
- inductive loads (e.g., relays, contactors, valves)
- capacitive loads
- max. output current of 0.5 A per channel
- positive switching
- short-circuit proof outputs: protection against overload or short circuit
- reverse polarity protection in the event of incorrect polarity of the supply voltage
The ED-series EtherCAT Terminals have push-in connection technology which makes wiring easy and tool-free.
