Beckhoff Automation ek1322

The EK1322 2-port EtherCAT P junction can be used in an EtherCAT Terminal segment at any desired position between the EtherCAT Terminals and enables configuration of EtherCAT P star topologies. A modular EtherCAT P star hub can be realized by using several EK1322 units in a station.   Special features: connection technology: 2 x P-coded M8 sockets can be used for configuring an EtherCAT P star topology   The front terminal points are used for the system and sensor supply US and the peripheral voltage for actuators UP for the EtherCAT P outputs. A connection to individual EtherCAT P devices or even complete EtherCAT P segments can be established via the P-coded M8 sockets, which enable the connection of an EtherCAT P cable with M8 connector.
