Product Description:
The EK1521 EK EtherCAT Coupler is perfect for challenging Industrial automation systems made by Beckhoff, a well-known manufacturer of industrial products. It has 100 Mbit/s data transfer rates which make it capable for versatile application systems. It has two RJ45 sockets and functions by using Ethernet 100BASE-TX as its data transfer mechanism in harsh industrial applications.
The EK1521 EtherCAT coupler supports rapid data transmission at 100 Mbit/s speed that enhances both speed and communication efficiency. The power supply accepts power within 24 V DC while maintaining operations through a nominal value range of 20% to -15% below. The power contacts allow the device to send dependable power distribution through 24 V DC/10 A modules to equipment that is connected. The device has IP20 protection to prevent dust entry and protect itself from mechanical hits, so it operates effectively under tough environmental conditions. The coupler demonstrates successful operation from minus 25 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius while serving multiple industrial environments. Installers can easily place the compact unit into present systems because it measures 44 mm x 100 mm x 52 mm. A 65 g weight installation on a DIN rail offers an industrial product both weight-efficient storage options and durable framework for industrial operation. The product supports simple setup operations to deliver minimal installation durations.
The EK1521 EtherCAT coupler serves as an important component of complex automation systems. It has both a compact construction style and easy DIN rail mounting support which leads to enhanced functional usability. The product enables simple connectivity for automation networks alongside high efficiency performance and constantly provides consistent high-performing operation. The expansion of systems becomes simpler because this device enables Ethernet-based automation to handle big numbers of nodes.
