Bus Coupler
Bus Coupler
With the EK1000, Beckhoff expands the EtherCAT I/O system with a new bus coupler. The device enables the communication of EtherCAT segments with remote EtherCAT controllers via heterogeneous ethernet networks.
Product & Technology News
- Through support of TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) functions, the coupler enables delays caused by switches in Ethernet networks to be minimised and the wide range of EtherCAT I/O Terminals and other EtherCAT devices to be used in TSN network environments.
- The EtherCAT TSN Coupler combines the advantages of the EtherCAT world with those of TSN networks. EtherCAT is ideally suited to combine the numerous small data packets of digital and analog inputs, which typically occur in industrial environments, into a complete process image.
