Ordering Information

If you are interested in EtherCAT digital input modules, consider the following ordering codes:

  • ED-EIO8XP: 8-channel digital input module, PNP type.
  • ED-EIO8XN: 8-channel digital input module, NPN type.
  • ED-EIO16XP: 16-channel digital input module, PNP type.
  • ED-EIO16XN: 16-channel digital input module, NPN type.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing EtherCAT digital input modules is very simple. Just align the notch on the back of the module with the DIN rail and push it in along the arrow direction to fix it on the DIN rail. To remove the module, simply hold the module's latch and pull it out along the arrow direction. Before installation and removal, ensure that the device's power is turned off to avoid damaging the module.

EtherCAT digital input modules have a broad application prospect in industrial automation. They not only provide efficient and stable signal acquisition solutions but also perfectly combine with the CODESYS software platform, providing engineers with powerful development tools. Whether in automated production line control or smart manufacturing systems, EtherCAT digital input modules are key devices for achieving efficient industrial automation.
