Beckhoff: Plug-in I/O modules

EJ-series EtherCAT plug-in I/O modules from Beckhoff provide an efficient wiring solution for machines built in large and medium-sized production runs; these include modules for servo, stepper, and DC motor types.

With new EJ7xxx motion modules, space-saving compact drive technology from Beckhoff is seamlessly integrated into a plug-in module concept, enabling extremely compact I/O and motion solutions that perfectly match customer requirements.

Modules make it easy to implement a platform concept for large-volume production runs without sacrificing customization capabilities. With electronics based on the popular EtherCAT I/O system, modules are directly inserted into an application-specific signal distribution board that transmits signals and power to the individual connectors. Connections via pre-configured cable harnesses replace the expensive installation of individual wires, reducing per-unit costs and minimizing the risk of faulty wiring because the EJ components are clearly coded.
