EL6601 | 1-port Ethernet switch terminal
The Ethernet switch terminal is used for the decentralised connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT Terminal network. The EtherCAT system relays the Ethernet communication of the connected devices fully transparent and collision-free.
The switch terminal can be installed at any location within the EtherCAT strand. No configuration is required.
Further benefits underline the particular suitability for the application in industrial environments:
- compact design in EtherCAT Terminal housing
- 10/100 Mbaud, half or full duplex, with automatic baud rate detection
