Ethernet bridge ECX-EC

EtherCAT

EtherCAT Slave Bridge • Integration of two EtherCAT slave devices • Process data exchange between two EtherCAT networks • Time synchronization (DC) between the EtherCAT Masters • Supports DC with redundancy EtherCAT Implementation • Ethernet physics according to IEEE 802.3 • Configuration via CoE • Firmware update via FoE • EoE support (switch port) EtherCAT Process Image widely configurable • Configuration via typical network configuration tools (e.g. esd Workbench, TwinCAT®) • Up to 1024 bytes in each direction • Layout selectable via variables, e.g. 'UDINT'.
