Product Description

The EK1960 is a compact controller made by Beckhoff. It has 20 digital inputs and 24 digital outputs. Of course, all of the inputs and outputs are safe. It can be used as a stand-alone model or it can be connected to other controllers by using an EtherCAT connector. The couple can be extended near all of the EL/ES terminals. This controller comes standard with an EtherCAT RJ45 but has an M8 as an option. It has three address selectors as well as a Us and Up port. The unit has an option for Relay in-/outputs.

The cycle time is about 1 ms but it varies depending on how large the system is. The fault response time is parameterizable. It can be less than or equivalent to the watchdog time. This unit is to be installed horizontally. The protection class for the EK1960 is IP 20.

The EK1960 can process analog signals at 16 or 32-bit pulse, unsigned or signed. It’ll transfer over to the logic via EtherCAT signal. This means that the analog signal can check for plausibility inside of the logic. The scaling and calculations required to check the plausibility is done in the SIL 3/PL safety. The EK1960 is a controller in a family of terminal systems with modular I/O. The fieldbus protocol can be traced all the way to the individual terminal without an independent terminal bus. They can be connected using a bus coupler which makes sure the whole system talks with the existing system. This specific controller also supports TwinSAFE SC technology which keeps data transmission safe and secure between the terminals to this controller.

Frequently Asked Questions about EK1960-2600

Q: Can the EK1960-2600 function as a stand-alone model?

A: Yes, the EK1960-2600 can be used as a stand-alone model, but it also offers the flexibility to connect to other controllers using an EtherCAT connector.

Q: What options are available for extending the EK1960-2600?

A: The EK1960-2600 can be extended near almost all of the EL/ES terminals.

Q: How many address selectors does the unit have and what ports are present?

A: The unit is equipped with three address selectors and has both a Us and Up port. Additionally, there's an option for Relay in-/outputs.

Q: How does the cycle time of the EK1960-2600 vary?

A: While the EK1960-2600 has a cycle time of about 1 ms, this may change based on the size of the system. Its fault response time is parameterizable and can be set to be equivalent to or less than the watchdog time.

Q: Can the EK1960-2600 process and transfer analog signals?

A: Yes, the EK1960 can process analog signals at 16 or 32-bit pulse, either unsigned or signed. These signals are then transferred to the logic via the EtherCAT signal, allowing for plausibility checks within the logic.
