Beckhoff EP2308-0001 PLC Module

Beckhoff EP2308-0001 is an EtherCAT Box I/O module that provides 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs for 24 V DC, delivering a 3 ms response time and a total sensor current of 0.5 A, with eight M8 signal connectors. As part of Beckhoff's EP23xx EtherCAT Box family, it serves as a compact I/O extension that connects to an EtherCAT master to enable fast, reliable digital control in automation applications. An internal, short-circuit–protected driver module powers the connected sensors, sharing a total 0.5 A across all channels. Typical uses include machine automation, packaging lines, and process control where 24 V DC I/O is needed in a rugged industrial form factor. This module is designed for mounting in control cabinets or on machine frames, interfacing with Beckhoff or compatible EtherCAT masters to implement straightforward digital input monitoring and actuator control.
