ek1122-0008

Product Overview

The EK1122-0008 2-port EtherCAT junction can be used in an EtherCAT Terminal segment at any desired position between the EtherCAT Terminals and enables configuration of EtherCAT star topologies. A modular EtherCAT star hub can be realized by using several EK1122-0008 units in a station.   Special features: connection technology: 2 x M8 sockets connection lengths: up to 100 m can be used for configuring an EtherCAT star topology   The EK1122-0008 has two M8 sockets, which enable connection of an Ethernet cable with M8 connector and establish a connection to a further EtherCAT segment or to individual EtherCAT devices. The M8 sockets are compatible with the EtherCAT Box modules and therefore enables uniform cabling in the IP20 and IP67 range. The EK1122-0008 supports coupling and uncoupling of EtherCAT segments during operation (Hot Connect).
