EK1110-0008 | EtherCAT extension with M8 connection

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.
