Product Description:
The EK1322 is a 2-port EtherCAT P junction that supports the 100BASE-TX EtherCAT P transmission standard that combines power and signal delivery through a single shielded cable. The EtherCAT junction enables structured distribution of power and data within EtherCAT P networks, facilitating simplified wiring and efficient network topology management.
The EK1322 2-port EtherCAT P junction operates with an external supply voltage of 24 V DC and tolerates voltage variations from –15% to +20%. It supports a maximum current capacity of 3 A across all EtherCAT P ports, ensuring adequate power delivery for connected devices. The typical current consumption is 3 mA for both system and peripheral supplies, with a current draw of 200 mA from the EtherCAT bus. The junction features two M8 P-coded sockets that prevent incorrect connections and maintain signal integrity through shielding. It supports various wire types, including solid, stranded, and ferruled conductors with cross-sections ranging from 0.2 mm² to 1.5 mm² (AWG28 to AWG14). This design ensures compatibility with standard EtherCAT P cabling and connectors, enabling flexible network topologies such as star, line, and tree configurations.
The EK1322 junction is designed for installation in standard control enclosures with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 55°C. It supports power and signal transmission over a single EtherCAT P cable, reducing wiring complexity and installation effort. The junction's compact design allows for efficient integration in distributed automation nodes. The typical current consumption values of 3 mA for both US and UP supplies and the current draw of 200 mA from the E-bus provide a balanced power profile for connected devices. The junction supports solid and ferruled wires, enhancing connection reliability. This junction meets the requirements for efficient and reliable EtherCAT P network distribution in automation applications.
Frequently Asked Questions about EK1322:
Q: Why does EK1322 support 24 V DC feed-in?
A: The 24 V DC feed-in supplies power to both logic and peripheral loads. It ensures synchronized communication and power transfer in EtherCAT P lines.
Q: How does EK1322 manage current load limits?
A: The EK1322 limits total current to 3 A for US and UP. This helps protect downstream devices and ensures regulated distribution.
Q: Why does EK1322 use P-coded M8 sockets?
A: P-coded M8 sockets standardize EtherCAT P connections. They prevent incorrect mating and provide combined signal and power routing.
Q: Does EK1322 support multiple wire types?
A: Yes, EK1322 accepts solid, stranded, and ferruled wires. It supports 0.2 to 1.5 mm² and AWG28 to AWG14.
Q: How does EK1322 simplify EtherCAT P wiring?
A: It integrates data and power into one cable. This reduces field wiring complexity and streamlines system installation.
