• 8-Channel Digital Input Sub-board: Equipped with optocoupler isolation and programmable filtering functions.
• 4-Channel Digital Output Sub-board: Supports relay/SCR outputs with programmable polarity.
• Communication Chip: Integrated EtherCAT Master/Slave controller on the PCB.
• Diagnostic LEDs: Indicate power, communication, and error status in real time.

5. Typical Application Fields

• High-speed assembly lines and robot control systems
• Real-time I/O data acquisition for packaging and printing machinery
• Synchronous triggering and signal collection in machine vision systems
• Safety and status monitoring in process automation

6. Installation and Maintenance

Installation

1. Slide the module onto the DIN‑Rail and lock it securely to ensure stable mounting.
2. Connect the 24 V DC power supply and EtherCAT Master (or Slave) cables.

Wiring

1. Connect field sensors/actuators to the corresponding digital input/output terminals in accordance with the wiring diagram.
2. Low-level signals can be directly connected to the optocoupler-isolated input terminals; output terminals are capable of driving relay or SCR loads.

Commissioning

1. Launch B&R Automation Studio—the system will automatically detect the module and display the hardware tree.
2. Configure I/O parameters, set filtering values, and verify diagnostic LED status via the software interface.

Maintenance

1. Regularly check the LED indicators to confirm normal power supply, communication, and error-free operation.
2. If an error LED illuminates, refer to diagnostic information to locate faults (e.g., power supply anomalies, communication loss, or input short circuits).
3. The metal housing provides dust and moisture resistance; routine cleaning is sufficient without disassembling internal components.

SEO & Readability Optimization Notes

1. Keyword Consistency: Core terms like “B&R 8EI8X8HWD10.0400-1″, “EtherCAT I/O module”, “DIN-Rail mounting” are repeated naturally to align with Google’s indexing rules.
2. Hierarchical Structure: Clear H1-H3 headings and bullet points improve readability for both users and search engine crawlers.
3. Technical Accuracy: Industry-standard terms (e.g., “optocoupler isolation”, “SCR”, “EMI”) are used to match the search habits of technical buyers.
