Beckhoff EPP2349-0021 is an EtherCAT P Box that provides 16 digital I/O channels, configurable as inputs or outputs (Digital-Kombi) for 24 V DC devices with a per-channel current rating of 0.5 A and a fast 10 µs response. The module uses 16 M8 connectors for its channels and is powered and communicates over a single EtherCAT P cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply to the device. Typical applications include expanding machine I/O for sensors and actuators in automated systems, where a compact, fieldbus‑friendly I/O expansion is needed.
