Product Description

The EP9521-0020 EtherCAT media converter uses optical fibers for operation. This converter aids in conversion from optical fiber media to copper media and vice versa. The product is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables. This device transfers data directly between two media. The unit functions bidirectionally with constant delay but without collision. It supports fast link control as well as closing the EtherCAT strand safely when a fault takes place. This converter is configured through a switch that allows selecting the link loss forwarding option for normal EtherCAT operation.

The products diagnosis can be done as a separate EtherCAT system. This device is operated where EtherCAT transfers are required over a large distance. The unit is also used in instances where high EMC loads can be expected on the bus line. It has an IP 65/66/67 protection rating. This converter is not only UL Listed but also CE Certified. The products documentation should be followed when it is installed and commissioned. This devices delivery is done in a compact size and has a small mass. The unit is put to operation in robot arms and applications with mobile I/O interfaces. It uses screened M8 connectors for its EtherCAT connection.

This converter supports a wide range of requirements for I/O signals. The product comprises digital inputs with different filters. This device also has analog, thermocouple, and RTD inputs. The units protective caps must be seated correctly to ensure its protection rating. Its housing encompasses a polyurethane sealing compound. This EtherCAT media converters fastening holes act as connections for its functional earth.
