The IFM EBC056 is an eight-port PNP splitter box designed for compact and reliable sensor connectivity in industrial automation systems. It provides eight M8 ports with a 5 m PUR cable. The compact PBT-GF20 housing is suitable for space-restricted installations and provides IP65, IP67 and IP68 protection. Bright LED indicators support quick monitoring of connected circuits.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC056 provides eight M8 connection ports for centralized connection of sensors and actuators. The higher port count allows several field devices to be connected through a single compact wiring solution. This helps reduce cable clutter and simplifies machine installation. The compact design is particularly useful in restricted mounting spaces.
The splitter box uses PNP electrical technology and supports 10...30 V DC operation. Each module or slot can handle up to 2 A, with a total current capacity of 6 A. This makes the unit suitable for standard industrial sensor and actuator circuits. Gold-plated contacts provide dependable electrical connections.
The EBC056 includes a 5 m PUR cable for convenient connection to control equipment. The cable is designed for industrial environments and supports dynamic machine applications. Its construction allows use in drag-chain applications under specified operating conditions. Correct cable installation helps maintain long-term reliability.
The splitter box uses PBT-GF20 and nickel-plated brass materials for durability. IP65, IP67 and IP68 protection provides reliable protection against environmental exposure. Sixteen yellow LEDs provide switching-status indication while one green LED indicates operation. This helps technicians identify circuit status quickly.
