Product Description

The EK1100-0000 EtherCAT coupler is a communication device produced by Beckhoff Automation for the connection of EtherCAT terminals with E-Bus communication interfaces to a higher-level network system. This device reliably transmits communication signals from the higher network to the EtherCAT terminals. The coupler contains two RJ-45 connection sockets; it is connected to the higher-level network through the upper connection interface, while the lower RJ-45 socket may be used to connect other EtherCAT devices in the same strand. The terminals connected to the EK1100-0000 EtherCAT coupler are supplied with the E-bus current that is required for optimum communication; the coupler can supply a maximum current of 2 amperes and a voltage of approximately 5 volts. If more current is required to be supplied, operators must integrate power feed terminals into the device.

There are about 65535 EtherCAT terminals in the overall system featuring the EK1100-0000, the medium required for the transmission of EtherCAT signals to the coupler is the Ethernet 100BASE-TX or the Ethernet CAT5 cables. These connection cables can be used to connect two couplers over a maximum distance of 100 meters, with a delay of about 1 microseconds. The power supply on this product is about 24 volts, while the current consumption is approximately 70 microamperes.

The EK1100-0000 is about 44 millimeters wide, 100 millimeters tall, and 68 millimeters thick>>, it also has a total weight of about 105 grams. The housing of the product is classified under the IP20 protection; it is also structured to allow for the installation of the coupler without any problem. There are diagnostic LEDs present on this product to provide customers with information on the connection and operation status of the coupler.
