Here’s a concise description of the EP1008-0001 EtherCAT Box in points:

• Functionality: An 8-channel digital input module designed for acquiring binary control signals from the process level.

• Input Voltage: Operates at a nominal input voltage of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%).

• Input Filter: Features a 3.0 ms input filter, making it suitable for electronic and mechanical inputs with additional signal debouncing.

• Connections: Equipped with M8 screw-type connectors for signal connections.

• Sensor Supply: Provides sensor power supply from the box's control voltage, with a total of 0.5 A (short-circuit proof).

• Indication: Signal states are displayed via light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

• Power Supply: The load voltage is not used in this module but can be optionally connected for forwarding.

• Housing: Compact and robust design with IP65/66/67 protection rating, suitable for harsh environments.

• Operating Temperature: Functions reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C.

• Certifications: CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx approved.
