Information About EK1100
The EK1100 is part of Beckhoff’s EtherCAT I/O system, developed to provide modular and flexible distributed I/O connectivity. It links up to 65,535 EtherCAT Terminals (EL terminals) to the EtherCAT fieldbus, handling communication and power distribution across the I/O modules. The coupler features two RJ45 ports—one for upstream connection to the EtherCAT master and one for downstream continuation of the EtherCAT network. It supports 100 Mbps full-duplex communication, enabling high-speed, deterministic data transfer for real-time control. The EK1100 provides the power supply for the internal electronics of the connected terminals while offering integrated diagnostic LEDs for system status and troubleshooting. Its modular design allows scalable I/O architectures with simple DIN rail mounting.
Key Features:
-
Design: EtherCAT Coupler for modular I/O integration.
-
Connectivity: Two RJ45 ports for upstream and downstream EtherCAT connections.
-
Performance: Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex deterministic communication.
-
Capacity: Connects and powers up to 65,535 EtherCAT Terminals (EL modules).
-
Diagnostics: Built-in LED indicators for power, link, and activity status.
-
Integration: Seamlessly connects to Beckhoff controllers and EtherCAT masters.
-
Installation: Compact DIN rail–mounted design for distributed I/O systems.
-
Application Range: Suitable for machine automation, robotics, and process industries.
The EK1100 delivers the speed, modularity, and reliability required for building scalable EtherCAT-based automation systems.
