Beckhoff - EK1100 ETHERCAT COUPLER FOR EBUS TERMINALS, 2 RJ45 SOCKETS, 100 MBITS/S

EK1100 Ethercat Coupler, 2 Rj45 Sockets, 100 Mbits/S

The EK1100 EtherCAT Coupler links EtherCAT protocols at fieldbus level with EtherCAT Terminals. This capable Coupler converts the signals from Ethernet 100BASE-TX to E-bus signal representation. Featuring 2 RJ45 sockets, the upper Ethernet interface is used to connect the coupler to the network, while the lower socket provides the optional connection of further Ethernet based devices.

An EtherCAT junction or an extension can be used for an extension or for the setting up of a line or star topology. The system and field supply, each 24 V DC, is provided directly at the coupler. The attached terminals are supplied with the current required for communication from the supplied system voltage and can supply a maximum of 5 V and 2 A. The EK1100 can be installed anywhere in the Ethernet signal transfer section (100BASE-TX) ? except directly at the switch.
