Product Description:

The EK1100-0008 is a state-of-the-art Ether CAT coupler designed to provide a connection link between the Ether CAT protocol at the fieldbus level and other Ether CAT terminals in the automation systems. This coupler is able to operate with up to 65,534 terminals during operation. The manufacturer of this product is Beckhoff Automation, which is one of the leading producers of automation devices used in industries all over the world. There are two M8 sockets present on this product; these are M8 ethernet sockets used to connect the coupler to the communication network. The cable intended for the transmission of the EK1100-0008 is an Ethernet/Ether CAT cable; this connection cable should be well shielded and should belong to at least the Category 5 standard. The maximum permissible distance that can exist between stations with reasonable data integrity is 100 meters. The expected data transfer rate through the connection cable is about 100 megabits per second. The power supply requirement for this coupler is 24 volts, although slight deviation is allowed.

The current supply at the E-bus is about 2000 milliamperes, the maximum permissible current at the power contact on the EK1100-0008 coupler is also classified to be about 10 amperes. During operation, the EK1100-0008 is ambient to function in ambient temperatures that fall within a range of -25 to 60 degrees. If the unit is to be stored, ambient temperature can be between -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.

The EK1100-0008 is not water resistant and should not be exposed to relative humidity conditions exceeding 95 per cent. It also has an IP20 housing design that makes it important for it to be used indoors and protected from solid foreign substances with a diameter less than 12 millimeters.
