The EK1828 EtherCAT Coupler is the link between the EtherCAT protocol at fieldbus level and the EtherCAT Terminals. In addition,

eight digital outputs are integrated. The resulting design is particularly suitable for applications with a small number of I/Os. The

coupler converts the passing telegrams from Ethernet 100BASE-TX to E-bus signal representation. A station consists of a coupler

and any number of EtherCAT Terminals that are automatically detected and individually displayed in the process image.

Special features:

• Connection technology: 2 x RJ45 socket

• Connection lengths: up to 100 m

• 8 digital outputs

• Number of EtherCAT Terminals in the overall system: up to 65.535
