Beckhoff Automation ek1110-0043

The EK1110-0043 EtherCAT EJ Coupler connects the compact Embedded PCs from the CX series and the attached EtherCAT Terminals with the EtherCAT plug-in modules on an application-specific circuit board (signal distribution board).   Special features: Connection technology: 1 x connector at the rear of the EtherCAT EJ Coupler Forwarding of E-bus signals and field supply to the signal distribution board   The E-bus signals and the supply voltage of the field side UP are routed directly to the signal distribution board via a plug connector at the rear of the EtherCAT EJ Coupler. Thanks to the direct coupling of the Embedded PC and EtherCAT terminals with the EtherCAT plug-in modules on the PCB, no EtherCAT extension (EK1110) or EtherCAT Coupler (EJ1100) is required. The system and field supply of the EK1110-0043 is provided by the power supply unit of the Embedded PC.   The Embedded PC can be extended with EtherCAT Terminals that are not yet available in the EJ system, for example. The pre-assembled subsystem, consisting of a printed circuit board with mounted DIN rail, Embedded PC and EtherCAT plug-in modules, can be tested in advance and subsequently integrated into the machine assembly as a complete unit.
