Beckhoff EK1122 EtherCAT Junctions 2port
There is a 2-port EtherCAT junction that enables the configuration of EtherCAT star topologies Screen. This module is an EtherCAT star that can be realized by utilizing several EK1122 units in a station.Through TwinCAT and other opportunities EtherCAT EK1122 withal fortifies coupling and uncoupling of EtherCAT strands during to the operation.
The Beckhoff EK1122 EtherCAT Junction 2-port is a crucial component in setting up flexible and advanced EtherCAT network topologies in industrial automation. It’s not an I/O module itself, but rather a communication module that allows you to branch off an EtherCAT segment.
Specifications of the Beckhoff EK1122:
- Function: It acts as a 2-port EtherCAT junction (or “star hub”), enabling the configuration of EtherCAT star topologies within a linear EtherCAT segment.
- Connection Technology: Typically features 2 x RJ45 sockets, which are standard Ethernet connectors. There are also variants with M8 connectors (e.g., EK1122-0008) for more robust field applications.
- Data Transfer Rate: Supports 100 Mbit/s (100BASE-TX) EtherCAT communication.
- Distance between Stations: Up to 100 meters using standard EtherCAT/Ethernet cables
