AG-EPC-32 USER GUIDE 4.4 EtherCat Port The EtherCat port (CoE Can Over EThercat) on AG-EPC-32 J17, is able to control all devices that use this protocol ex: Drives,I/O etc. 4.4.1 Connections The on board connector, complies the RJ45 standard, It's recommended to use cables length conformed the standard.
AG-EPC-32 USER GUIDE Analog inputs The analog converter reads an input voltage from 0 to 10V or 4/20 mA with respect to GND. To get the full scale 12V or 24V, an external resistor must be inserted between the signal and card input. In any case, the value of the input voltage can exceed the full scale is not more than 0.2 V.

AG-EPC-32 USER GUIDE 4.10 Digital Outputs These outputs are optically isolated with respect to GND. In order to function should therefore feed them separately with a voltage of 24 Vdc. The load is driven by a transistor of the PNP type which when activated will provide a positive voltage equal to the voltage supply of the outputs.

(Low Voltage Directive), Directive 2006/95/EC (until April 19th, 2016) and Directive 2014/35/EU (from April 20th, 2016) but it can be applied on devices supplied at 50-1000Vac or 75-1500Vdc. AG-EPC-32 works at a voltage of 24Vdc (thus Intrinsically “safe”), so it belongs to "very low voltage" devices (class 0 legislation CEI 11.1), on which it isn't no legislation about.
