KEB's EtherCAT slave bus coupler allows EtherCAT IO to be easily added to the control system. The modules are compact, measuring 25mm wide, and mount on a standard DIN rail.
EtherCAT Bus Coupler
Product Details
Real-time EtherCAT System: The C6 Bus Coupler enables a complete, real-time EtherCAT I/O system, ensuring high-speed data transfer and synchronization for precise control.
Modular and Compact Design: With a width of just 25 mm, the system has a high packing density. It uses a plug-in system for both terminals and modules, and the connection between modules is automatically closed at the end of the device.
Decentralized Control: The coupler allows for the expansion and decentralization of I/O, with each connected module acting as an independent EtherCAT slave that can be individually configured.
Versatile I/O Options: The system supports a wide range of module types, including various digital and analog I/O modules, which allows for the implementation of diverse, application-specific topologies.
