EP6224-0002

EP6224-0002 is a Beckhoff module in the EP Digital Input Modules series. It uses the EtherCAT protocol for communication and provides four IO-Link ports operating with IO-Link V1.1. The ports are Class A, which separates the standard sensor supply from the optional auxiliary supply. Each port uses a five-pin, A-coded M12 socket for connecting sensors and actuators. The maximum IO-Link cable length is 20 m, supporting remote device placement within that distance.

The module provides four Type 3 digital inputs for signals from compatible industrial sensors. Each input draws 3 mA and uses a 10 µs input filter to reduce brief signal disturbances while maintaining fast response. Digital input cables can be up to 30 m long. The nominal operating voltage is 24 V DC. Each port supports a maximum L+ output current of 1.4 A for powering connected devices, while the maximum C/Q output current is 200 mA for switching or communication-line output operation. The bus interface consists of two shielded, four-pin, A-coded M8 sockets, providing EtherCAT input and onward connections for integration into a network line.
