The EK1110-0008 EtherCAT extension is placed at the end of an EtherCAT

Terminal segment or an Embedded PC from the CX series and offers the

option of extending the EtherCAT network in the form of a line topology.

Special features:

• connection technology: 1 x M8 socket

• connection lengths: up to 100 m

• extension of an EtherCAT network in line topology

The EK1110-0008 has an M8 socket that enables connection of an Ethernet

cable with M8 connector and establishes a connection to a further EtherCAT

segment or to individual EtherCAT devices. The M8 socket is compatible with

the EtherCAT Box modules and therefore enables uniform cabling in the IP20

and IP67 range. The E-bus signals are converted to 100BASE-TX Ethernet

signal representation in a continuous process. Power supply to the EK1110-0008

electronics is via the E-bus. No parameterization or configuration is required.
