Product Description

The EJ1100-0000 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT coupler that serves as a connection point between the EtherCAT protocol and EtherCAT plug-in modules. It efficiently converts Ethernet 100BASE-TX signals into E-bus signal representations, facilitating seamless communication within an EtherCAT network. This coupler features dual RJ45 configuration with two RJ45 sockets that enable reliable connections with other EtherCAT devices. This configuration allows for multiple connection points, ensuring efficient data transmission and network scalability while maintaining a compact design. The coupler supports connection lengths of up to 100 meters, making it highly adaptable to various application requirements.

This coupler operates on the EtherCAT protocol, a highly efficient and widely used fieldbus technology in industrial automation. It enables fast, real-time communication between multiple devices in a network, ensuring quick response times and reliable performance. This unit boasts a typical delay of only 1 microsecond (µs). This ensures that data is transmitted efficiently between devices with minimal latency, ensuring operational efficiency. The coupler supports data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbit/s for efficient communication between connected devices within an EtherCAT network.

The EJ1100-0000 EtherCAT Coupler operates with a 24 VDC power supply, making it compatible with a wide range of devices and power configurations. It has a low power requirement and has a 60 mA rated current consumption. This helps to minimize the overall power consumption of the system, ensuring energy efficient operations. The coupler offers robust performance in a wide range of setups and comes with EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27 for vibration and shock resistance. This means it can withstand mechanical stress and sudden shocks without affecting its performance. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and can be stored in more extreme conditions, from -40°C to +85°C.
