The upper Ethernet interface is used to connect the coupler to the network; the lower socket serves for the optional connection of further EtherCAT devices in the same segment. In addition, an EtherCAT junction or an EtherCAT extension can be used for the extension or for setting up a line or star topology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Copy_text\"\u003eThe system and field supply, each 24 V DC, is provided directly at the coupler. The attached EtherCAT Terminals are supplied with the current required for communication from the supplied system voltage. The coupler can supply a maximum of 5 V and 2 A. If higher current is required, power feed terminals such as the EL9410 have to be integrated. The field supply is forwarded to the individual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.beckhoff.com\/en-us\/products\/i-o\/#text_bild_1\" title=\"Fieldbus components for all common I\/Os\"\u003eI\/O\u003c\/a\u003e components via the power contacts with up to 10 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Copy_text\"\u003eIn the EtherCAT network, the EK1100 can be installed anywhere in the Ethernet signal transfer section (100BASE-TX) – except directly at the switch. The EK9000 and EK1000 couplers are suitable for use at the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BECKHOFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44857829654616,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2799\/9320\/files\/EK11006.webp?v=1789802374","url":"https:\/\/gexufein.com\/products\/ek1100-ethercat-coupler","provider":"Gexufein Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
