The IFM EBC170 is a compact 10-port splitter box designed for centralized sensor connectivity in industrial automation systems. It features M8 connections and a 500 mm cable for convenient installation near machinery and control components. The robust construction provides protection against oils, coolants and environmental contaminants. Its integrated LEDs provide clear visual indication of operating and switching conditions.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC170 is designed for installations where multiple sensor connections need to be organized in a small space. Its compact housing allows the splitter box to be positioned close to machine components. This helps simplify field wiring and improve connection management.
The splitter box provides 10 M8 ports for connecting sensors and actuators. Multiple field devices can therefore be connected through a single centralized connection point. This arrangement helps create a cleaner and more structured machine wiring layout.
The EBC170 includes a 500 mm cable that provides a convenient connection length for compact machine installations. The shorter cable can help reduce unnecessary cable routing around control equipment. This makes the product suitable for applications where the splitter is installed close to the main connection point.
The splitter box offers IP65, IP67 and IP68 protection and is designed for industrial temperature conditions. Integrated yellow LEDs provide switching-status indication, while a green LED provides operation indication. The housing is resistant to oils and coolants commonly found in industrial machinery.
