EL6614 | 4-port Ethernet switch terminal

The Ethernet switch terminal is a decentralised switch that gets power from the E-bus. It relays the frames received from the ports to the destination ports. In full duplex mode, it thus enables collision-free communication of the connected devices with each other. Furthermore, the Ethernet communication of the connected devices is relayed to the EtherCAT system fully transparent and collision-free (uplink function). 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:
