German BECKHOFF EL9011 module EtherCAT

Rich and diverseEtherCATThe terminal module series includes electronic terminal blocks for control cabinets or junction boxes. Unlike bus terminal modules that are independent of the fieldbus, each EtherCAT terminal module integrates the EtherCAT high-speed communication protocol. The EtherCAT terminal module system can provide various solutions for all tasks and challenges in the field of automation technology: suitable products can be provided for almost all types of signals and every application area. Other fieldbus protocols can also be integrated into the EtherCAT network.

The sturdy casing, safe and reliable contacts, and stable electronic components are prominent features of Beifu's components. An I/O station consists of an EtherCAT coupler and almost any number of terminal modules. The EtherCAT system can connect up to 65535 devices, so the entire network size is almost infinite.

The electronic terminal block is directly connected to the EtherCAT coupler. The terminal modules are connected by direct insertion without the need for any other operation. Each terminal module can be individually replaced and installed on a standard mounting track. In addition to horizontal installation, other installation methods can also be adopted.

Like the bus terminal module, the external contour of the EtherCAT terminal module matches the size of the terminal module housing. The LED on the front panel can clearly display the status, and the pull-out contact labels can ensure clear differentiation on site. Three wire connection technology, with an additional interface for protecting the grounding wire, can directly connect sensors and actuators.
