EP-2218

The EP-2218 digital output module from GE Fanuc Emerson is part of the PACSystems RSTi-EP series, specializing in reliable output control. It hosts eight output points that function under positive logic at a nominal voltage of 24VDC. Each output point can handle currents up to 0.5A, while the cumulative rating for the module reaches a maximum of 4A.

For wiring, this module adopts a straightforward 2-wire configuration, making installation and integration into existing systems less complex. In terms of operational efficiency, it supports resistive load switching frequencies as high as 1 kHz, thus accommodating fast switching demands.

The EP-2218 draws a current of 8 mA from the system current path, ensuring minimal impact on overall system load. For the output path, it requires 35 mA in addition to the current drawn by the connected load, allowing for flexible usage in various scenarios. The supply voltage range is set between 20.4 and 28.8V DC, providing necessary versatility for differing power requirements. Notably, this digital output module is designed to be reactionless, guaranteeing operation that avoids mechanical stress during switching actions.
