Ethernet port multiplier CU1423

The 3-way EtherCAT G junction enables topology expansions without changes in transmission rates. Line, tree or star – EtherCAT G supports almost any topology. The 3-port CU1423 EtherCAT G junction provides a compact solutions to cascade an EtherCAT network. In connection with TwinCAT or other suitable EtherCAT masters, the CU1423 EtherCAT G junction permits the connection or disconnection of EtherCAT G strands while the network is in operation (Hot Connect). The device cannot be used as a standard Ethernet switch.
