ED6012-0009 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel communication interface, serial, RS232/RS422/RS485, D-sub
The ED6012-0009 EtherCAT Terminal enables the connection of serially communicating devices to the automation system. Extensive parameterization options allow flexible adaptation to different communication requirements.
The following parameters, among others, can be set via the control or TwinCAT: communication standard (RS232, RS422, or RS485), electrical termination/fail-safe, handshake, baud rate, data format (e.g., 8N1), half-duplex or full-duplex operation, and other options.
In conjunction with the TwinCAT Virtual Serial COM Driver, the terminal can be used as a Windows COM interface, or alternatively with the TwinCAT 3 Modbus RTU Library as a Modbus RTU interface.
The ED6012-0009 has two independent channels. Both channels provide a switchable 5 V DC supply for the connected remote station.
Special features:
- powerful driver for high numbers of devices and long lines
- wide baud rate range
- comprehensive parameterization options
- send and receive with distributed clock timestamp
- integrated remote station supply
