Product Description

For industrial automation, the Beckhoff EK1110 EtherCAT Coupler is essential since it extends EtherCAT networks. This is accomplished by this little gadget, which weighs around 50 grams, translating E-bus signals to the popular 100BASE-TX Ethernet standard. The smooth integration of several devices and network components made possible by this conversion process promotes effective data interchange and control. Support for fast data transmission rates of up to 100 Mbit/s is the core feature of the EK1110. For accurate industrial process management and monitoring, this feature guarantees real-time communication between various automation system components. The one µs delay of the coupler reduces transmission latency, which improves performance even further. For applications that need quick action, such as motion control and safety systems, this quick reaction time is essential.

Reliable performance in challenging industrial situations is ensured by the sturdy architecture of the EK1110. Complying with EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 standards ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference, while its IP20 protection grade protects the device from dust and other solid particles. Additionally, the coupler's vibration and shock resistance, which meet EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27 criteria, guarantees its lifespan and durability even in the face of challenging working circumstances. The ability of the EK1110 to send data using shielded Ethernet/EtherCAT cables, which enable lengths of up to 100 meters between stations, increases its operating flexibility. This increased range makes more flexibility in network architecture and deployment possible. Furthermore, a variety of devices and systems may be seamlessly integrated with the coupler since it is compatible with any EtherCAT protocol. The EK1110's adaptability makes it a useful tool for a variety of industrial automation applications.

It is simple to integrate the EK1110 into a variety of industrial configurations due to its small size and adjustable installation location. Reliable performance in a range of conditions is ensured by its operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C. Because the gadget is powered directly from the E-bus and typically consumes 130 mA of current, integrating it into current systems is made easier. Additionally, the EK1110's safety and adherence to international standards are shown by its CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Customers may feel even more secure knowing Wake Industrial offers a one-year guarantee on this dependable and effective EtherCAT coupler.
