Digital I/O system C6 REMOTE I/O

KEB’s C6 Remote I/O system offers various options for connecting process signals to an EtherCAT network. It is made up of a C6 Remote I/O bus coupler and additional I/O modules. The C6 Remote I/O bus coupler converts the physical transfer technology and generates the system voltages for the modules. In the process, the EtherCAT protocol is retained right through to the last I/O module. The modules each operate in the system as an independent EtherCAT slave. Like every EtherCAT slave, they can be configured individually as nodes. In addition, data is immediately available in the EtherCAT and does not need to be converted by a proprietary bus. At the end of the modular device, the connection between the forward and return lines is closed automatically, meaning that the next EtherCAT device can be plugged into the second bus coupler or extender port. With a width of just 25 mm, the plug-in system has a high packing density. Thanks to the diverse module options and the continuity of the EtherCAT fieldbus, a wide variety of application-specific topologies can be implemented.
