EP6228-0022

EP6228-0022 is a Beckhoff module in the EP Digital Input Modules series. It uses the EtherCAT protocol for communication with the control system and provides eight IO-Link ports that support IO-Link V1.1 Class A devices. Supported data rates are 4.8, 38.4, and 230.4 kbit/s. The module can also handle up to eight digital inputs or outputs for connecting standard digital field devices.

The bus interface consists of two shielded, four-pin, A-coded M8 sockets. The supply connections use a four-pin M8 connector and socket. Its nominal supply voltage is 24 V DC with a tolerance of -15% to +20%. Each port provides a maximum L+ output current of 1.4 A, with a maximum total output of 4.0 A across the module. The C/Q output current is limited to 200 mA. Connected cables can be up to 20 m long.

The housing measures 60 mm in width, 126 mm in height, and 26.5 mm in depth. Its IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection classes provide resistance to dust, water jets, and temporary immersion under the conditions associated with each rating. The module operates at temperatures from -25 to +60ºC and can be stored at temperatures from -40 to +85ºC.
