EK3100 | PROFIBUS Bus Coupler
The EK3100 Bus Coupler connects PROFIBUS networks to the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx) as well as the EtherCAT Box modules (EPxxxx) and converts the telegrams from PROFIBUS to the E-bus signal representation. One station consists of an EK3100 and any number of EtherCAT Terminals. The coupler is connected to PROFIBUS via a 9-pin D-sub plug. In EtherCAT, the PROFIBUS coupler has at its disposal a lower-level, powerful and ultra-fast I/O system with a large selection of terminals. The coupler supports the PROFIBUS profile and fits seamlessly into PROFIBUS networks.
