Information About EK1100-0008
The EK1100-0008 belongs to Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Coupler family and is specifically designed for use in distributed automation networks requiring M8 connection technology. Acting as the interface between EtherCAT fieldbus communication and the modular I/O system, it converts incoming Ethernet 100BASE-TX telegrams into the internal E-bus signal used by EtherCAT Terminals. The unit supports up to 65,534 terminals, offering unmatched scalability for large control architectures. Its dual M8 ports allow flexible network expansion, with one port serving as the network input and the other for daisy-chaining additional EtherCAT devices. The compact design integrates 24 V DC system and field power supply connections, delivering up to 2 A for the E-bus and forwarding 24 V/10 A via power contacts. Designed for industrial reliability, the EK1100-0008 ensures stable communication, electrical isolation, and EMC compliance across a wide temperature range.
Key Features:
- Robust M8 Connectivity: Features two shielded M8 sockets for EtherCAT communication, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
- High-Speed Communication: Supports 100BASE-TX Ethernet with 100 Mbit/s data transfer for real-time system response.
- Extensive Terminal Support: Handles up to 65,534 EtherCAT Terminals, making it ideal for large, modular automation networks.
- Compact and Modular Design: Combines field and system power supply in one unit, simplifying wiring and cabinet layout.
- Integrated Power Distribution: Provides 24 V DC with up to 10 A via power contacts and 2 A for the E-bus to supply connected terminals.
- Electrical Isolation: 500 V separation between supply voltage, power contacts, and Ethernet ensures safe and interference-free communication.
- Flexible Network Expansion: Allows line and star topology configurations via EtherCAT junctions or extensions.
- Efficient Power Management: Automatically supplies the required communication current to all attached terminals from system voltage.
- Long Distance Support: Enables up to 100 m cable runs between stations for flexible installation.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: Operates from -25°C to +60°C, compliant with EMC standards for immunity and emission.
The EK1100-0008 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized EtherCAT installations, ensuring robust and synchronized communication across industrial automation systems.
