EV Series: Vertical EtherCAT I/O for High-Density Control Cabinets
The EV series uses a vertical standalone structure and covers digital, analog, and mixed-signal I/O for machine signal acquisition, EtherCAT slave expansion, and production-line cabinets.

Seven available models covering digital and 16-bit analog I/O
Standalone Structure and Real-Time Communication
The EV series is SCATECH's vertical standalone EtherCAT I/O platform for machine control cabinets. Published specifications include 24VDC power, spring terminals, a 250μs communication cycle, an operating range of -20°C to +60°C, and IP20 protection.
Its model structure lets engineers assign digital and analog signal tasks directly according to the project I/O list.
- EtherCAT communication with a published 250μs cycle.
- Vertical standalone structure with spring terminals.
- Digital, analog, and mixed-analog options.
- 16-bit resolution on analog models.
Seven I/O Combinations
The series provides separate combinations for point count, NPN/PNP logic, and analog signal type, allowing engineers to narrow selection directly from the I/O list.
- EV1616DN: 16 digital inputs and 16 NPN outputs.
- EV1616DP: 16 digital inputs and 16 PNP outputs.
- EV3200D: 32 digital inputs with selectable NPN/PNP input type.
- EV0032DN: 32 NPN digital outputs.
- EV0808AV2: 8 analog inputs and 8 outputs, supporting -10V to 10V.
- EV0808AM2: 8 inputs and 8 outputs with voltage and current channels, supporting -10V to 10V and 0 to 20mA.
- EV0404AC2: 4 analog inputs and 4 outputs, supporting -10V to 10V and 0 to 24mA.
Application Scenarios
EV modules suit equipment I/O acquisition and control, EtherCAT slave expansion, and automated production-line cabinets. Digital models handle switching signals, while analog models connect voltage- or current-based sensors and actuators.
Selection should confirm the master, point count, NPN/PNP logic, analog range, and cabinet space before reviewing ESI/XML files, wiring notes, and manuals.
