The EK1110 EtherCAT extension is placed at the end of an EtherCAT Terminal segment or an Embedded PC from the CX series and offers the option of extending the EtherCAT network in the form of a line topology.

Special features:

Connection technology: 1 x RJ45 socket

Connection lengths: up to 100 m

Extension of an EtherCAT network in line topology

The EK1110 has an RJ45 socket that enables connection of an Ethernet cable with RJ45 connector and establishes a connection to a further EtherCAT segment or to individual EtherCAT devices. The E-bus signals are converted to 100BASE-TX Ethernet signal representation in a continuous process. Power supply to the EK1110 electronics is via the E-bus. No parameterization or configuration is required.
