BECKHOFF EP1018-0001 New

The Beckhoff EP1018-0001 is an EtherCAT Box with eight 24 V DC digital inputs, engineered for fast, reliable signal acquisition directly on the machine. With a robust PA6 housing and IP65/IP66/IP67 protection, this compact M8 field I/O module delivers dependable performance in demanding environments across factory automation, material handling, and packaging.

Compliant with EN 61131-2 type 1/3, each input features a 10 µs input filter and accepts typical logic levels from -3 to +5 V for 0 and 11 to 30 V for 1. The unit provides two shielded M8 4-pin A-coded EtherCAT ports for line topologies and eight M8 3-pin A-coded sensor inputs, with nominal 24 V DC supply tolerance of -15% to +20%. Sensor supply is derived from the control voltage up to 0.5 A and is short-circuit proof in total; 500 V electrical isolation, EMC to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4, and operation from -25 to +60°C support reliable service under vibration and shock. Approvals include CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx.

Designed for OEMs and system integrators seeking compact, decentralized I/O that simplifies wiring, the EP1018-0001 accelerates installation with standardized M8 connectors and ensures seamless integration into EtherCAT networks, while a 1-year warranty provides added assurance for lifecycle planning and uptime.
