EtherCAT Coupler BECKHOFF EK 1100

EK1100 EtherCAT Coupler The EK1100 EtherCAT coupler is the link between the EtherCAT protocol at fieldbus level and the EtherCAT terminals. . The coupler converts the telegrams passing through Ethernet 100BASE-TX to the E-bus signal representation. A 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: Coupling EtherCAT terminals (ELxxxx) to EtherCAT 100BASE-TX networks Data transfer medium: Ethernet/EtherCAT cable (min. Cat.5), shielded Distance between stations: max. 100 m (100BASE-TX) Number of EtherCAT terminals: up to 65,534 Protocol: EtherCAT Delay: approx. 1 µs Data transfer rates: 100 Mbit/s Bus interface: 2 x RJ45 Power supply: 24V DC (-15%/+20%) 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%, non-condensing Vibration/shock resistance complies with EN 60068-2-6 / EN 60068-2-27 EMC immunity / emission according to EN 61000-6-2 / EN 61000-6-4 Protect. class / installation pos IP 20 / variable Approvals/markings CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx Marking Ex II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc Ex nA IIC T4 Gc Ex tc IIIC T135 ° C Dc
