EC-DIO32

EC-DIO32 is a 24V remote EtherCAT and CAN IO-module, housing a Motorola Freescale microprocessor with 16 Bit and 32 freely configurable inputs and outputs. It is separated into 4 blocks of 8 interfaces each that can be configured and addressed via Hex-switches. The blocks’ power supply allows the use in safety-relevant applications, e.g. guard doors.

The device offers various possibilities for revertively monitoring power levels and switching habits. These features facilitate the detection of defect outputs. By monitoring the levels of input signals the module can also verify input faults. It is also possible to implement a current measurement at the inputs and outputs for controlling absorption and delivery.

EC-DIO32 has a 3-pole CAN-interface and two RJ45 plugs for connecting different modules via Ethernet patch cable. In addition to that there is a detection of CAN and EtherCAT network technology implemented. LEDs and two 7segment displays for each block show the status of the module channels. The network can therefore be created and monitored very easily. 3-point connection technology facilitates the direct connection of all sensors and actors with the module. The EC-DIO32 contains Phoenix clamps for easy and rugged contact, making it robust and process proof in multiple applications.
