Product Description:
The EK1400 coupler connects machines to high-speed networks for data flow between interlinked parts. It is a product of Beckhoff which leads industries by developing exceptional equipment for everyday use.
The EK1400 coupler acts as the connection point between systems that connect to G-type networks within industrial automation communication systems. A shielded Ethernet cable of minimum Cat.5 standards becomes necessary to guarantee secure data transfer. Two connected nodes can extend their cable lines to 100 meters as per the 1000BASE-T standard. The total number of possible connected modules amounts to 65,534 modules through its capability to handle extensive system dimensions. The addressing capability extends to 4.2 GB of I/O signals because the device supports various digital and analog input/output operations. Operational stability during harsh conditions is ensured by the EK series coupler unit which achieves vibration standards under EN 60068-2-6 and shock standards under EN 60068-2-27. The IP20 protection rating enables the device to be installed in different positions. The coupler mounts through a key-operated double slot arrangement letting users position devices without space or specialized tools.
The EK1400 coupler bears identification markings in line with the BZxxxx series format to speed up detection. The device is valuable for electrical domains due to its CE certification and European safety rule along with electromagnetic elimination capabilities. A wire stripping space of 8 to 9 mm exists within the terminals to enable standard instalment procedures during terminal attachment. The specified current limit for power connections stands at 10 A current to ensure equal power distribution between joined terminals. Operation is possible at heights exceeding 1000 meters over the sea surface.
