EtherCAT Coupler BECKHOFF EK 1100

EtherCAT coupler EK1100 The EtherCAT EK1100 coupler is the gateway between the fieldbus EtherCAT protocol and the EtherCAT terminals . The coupler converts the telegrams that pass from Ethernet 100BASE-TX to the E-bus signal representation. One the station consists of a coupler and any number of EtherCAT terminals that are automatically detected and displayed individually in the process image. Task within the EtherCAT system: EtherCAT terminal coupling (ELxxxx) to EtherCAT 100BASE-TX networks Data transfer medium: Ethernet/EtherCAT cable (min. Cat.5), shielded Distance between stations: max. 100 m (100BASE-TX) EtherCAT terminals number: up to 65,534 Protocol: EtherCAT Delay: approx. 1 µs Data transfer speeds: 100 Mbit/s Bus interface: 2 x RJ45 Power supply: 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) Electrical power supply for electric bus: 2000 mA Power contacts: max. 24 V DC/max. 10 A Electrical insulation: 500 V Operating/storage temperature: -25…+60 °C / -40…+85 °C Relative humidity 95%, no condensation The vibration/shock resistance complies with EN 60068-2-6 / EN 60068-2-27 Immunity / EMC emission compliant with EN 61000-6-2 / EN 61000-6-4 Protect.
