BL compact™ Fieldbus Station for EtherCAT™
8 Configurable Digital PNP Channels
BLCEC-4M12MT-8XSG-P
Type designation BLCEC-4M12MT-8XSG-P
Ident-No. 6811626
Electrical isolation The 8XSG I/O cards have a common reference po-
tential for operating and load voltage due to their
freely selectable digital channels. Subsequently, all
voltage sources (VI / VO / V+) present on this device
must be concurrently connected to suitable power
supplies.
