EP2028-0032

EP2028-0032 is a Beckhoff module in the EP Digital Input Modules series. It uses the EtherCAT protocol for real-time communication with the control system. The bus interface consists of two shielded, four-pin, A-coded M8 sockets, allowing the EtherCAT connection to continue through the module. Its power supply connection uses a five-pin 7/8-inch plug and socket with a 16-UN thread. The U_S nominal supply voltage is 24 V DC, and the U_S sum current is 16 A at 40ºC.

The module provides eight outputs through eight five-pin, A-coded M12 sockets. Each channel delivers up to 2.8 A at a nominal output voltage of 24 V DC. The total output current is 16 A at 40ºC, supporting multiple loads within the module’s aggregate current limit. A 24 V DC auxiliary output supplies up to 0.5 A total for compatible external equipment. Isolation between GND S and GND P is included, electrically separating the sensor and peripheral power grounds.

The enclosure measures 60 mm in width, 150 mm in height, and 26.5 mm in depth. Its IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection ratings provide resistance to dust, water jets, and temporary immersion when the connections are properly installed.
