Hello,
I have a the following hardware setup:
Krc4 - 8.6.10
Kr50 2500
Beckhoff EK1100
Beckhoff EL2809 for DO
Beckhoff EL1809 for DI
I have to wire in 2x DO outputs that need to supply less than 0.2A of current each to power some relays. I noticed that the EK1100 24v UP is not wired so the DO terminals cannot output any voltage. I assume KUKA leaves this unwired because they don't know how much power users will draw when they configure their EK1100s? But I did not want to assume.
Is it un advised to simply add a terminal block to the DIN rail and spilt the 24V that is powering the 24V US that turns on the EK1100. Since I have a relatively small load, I would prefer not to buy and add a 24V power supply in the cabinet if its not necessary.
Thanks in advance!
