Information About EK1914
The EK1914 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT coupler that merges the functionality of the EK1100 with integrated standard and safety digital I/Os, making it suitable for installations with limited channel requirements. It provides four standard digital inputs and outputs, along with two fail-safe inputs and two fail-safe outputs, all of which exchange safety data via FSoE with a TwinSAFE Logic-capable controller. The unit’s safety parameters allow configuration such as 1-channel or 2-channel input evaluation, individual channel testing, and controlled activation of standard outputs through internal ANDing with safe output signals. By storing safety parameters externally rather than in the device itself, the EK1914 simplifies replacement and maintenance, as safety configurations are automatically transferred from the controlling TwinSAFE component upon system restart.
Key Features
- Integrated Standard and Safety I/O: Combines four digital inputs, four digital outputs, two safe inputs, and two safe outputs to streamline both control and safety functions within a single EtherCAT module.
- TwinSAFE FSoE Communication: Exchanges all fail-safe signals with a TwinSAFE Logic-capable controller using the Safety over EtherCAT protocol for high-integrity safety communication.
- Configurable Safety Parameters: Supports selectable 1-channel or 2-channel input evaluation, individual channel test activation, and flexible safety behavior customization according to application requirements.
- Advanced Output Coordination: Standard outputs can operate in parallel with safe outputs through internal ANDing logic, enabling faster output switching once the safety controller grants permission.
- Simplified Maintenance Through External Parameter Storage: Safety parameters are stored in the higher-level safety controller, enabling direct module replacement without reconfiguration during service.
- EL/ES Terminal Compatibility: Fully supports Beckhoff EL/ES terminal expansion, enabling scalable I/O architectures within compact automation environments.
- IP20 Protection and LED Diagnostics: Offers 16 LED indicators for fast status monitoring and IP20 protection for installation in control cabinets or protected environments.
- Optimized Reaction and Filtering Performance: Features a 4 ms reaction time and 500 µs input filtering to maintain accurate and stable signal evaluation in automated systems.
The EK1914 delivers the reliability and precision required for integrated standard and safety I/O handling in modern EtherCAT-based automation systems.
