Product Description:
The EK EtherCAT Coupler EK1960-2608 is manufactured by Beckhoff and is a high-performance automation device used for fast communication and efficient control. This coupler offers a response time of ≤ 15 ms, normally 10 ms, for fast data communication via EtherCAT networks. This coupler features a maximum switching current (NO contact) of 8 A, which allows it to handle higher electrical loads.
The EK1960-2608 coupler features a release time of ≤ 5 ms, with a normal value of approx. 2 ms, for fast switching off of control signals to minimize switching delays. For general industrial use, this coupler can handle AC15 (230 VAC) applications with a continuous current of 3 A, which is suitable for relay-based as well as motor control applications. This coupler offers a low switching current of 10 mA minimum, with AgNi (silver-nickel) contacts, thereby providing reliability for low signal circuits. The switching capacity of this coupler complies with IEC/EN 60947-5-1, 250 VAC / 3 A for safety and compliance in controlled environments. The EK1960-2608 supports up to 20 switching cycles per second as its maximum switching frequency to enable high-speed actuation for applications where signals must change frequently.
This coupler’s EMC emission complies with EN 61000-6-4 to reduce electromagnetic interference in control cabinets. In terms of mechanical strength, this coupler meets EN 60068-2-6 vibration resistance for reliability under moving or vibrating installations. This EK EtherCAT Coupler EK1960-2608 has a protection rating of IP 20, as per IEC 60529, and is designed for indoor use, such as in switchgear cabins. This coupler weighs approximately 560 g to provide a balance between strength and its modular design. In terms of environmental durability, this coupler can be stored between the temperature ranges of -40 °C to +70 °C.
