ETHERCAT COUPLER WITH ID SWITCH THE EK1101 COUPLER CONNECTS ETHERCAT WITH THE ETHERCAT TERMIN ALS (ELXXXX). A STATION CONSISTS OF AN EK1101 COUPLER, ANY NUMBER OF ETHERCAT TERMINALS, AN EL9011 BUS END CAP OR AN EK1110 ETHERCAT EXTENSION. THE COUPLER CONVERTS THE PASSING TELEGRAMS FROM ETHERNET 100BASE-TX TO E-BUS SIGNAL REPRESENTATION. THE EK1101 HAS THREE HEXADECIMAL ID SWITCHES FOR ASSIGNING AN ID TO A GROUP OF ETHERCAT COMPONENTS. THIS GROUP CAN THEN BE LOCATED AT ANY POSITION WITHI N THE ETHERCAT NETWORK. VARIABLE TOPOLOGIES ARE THEREFORE EASILY IMPLEMENTABLE. // TECHNICAL DATA EK1101 TASK WITHIN ETHERCAT SYSTEM COUPLING OF ETHERCAT TERMINALS (ELXXXX) TO 100BASE-TX ETHERCAT NETWORKS, WITH IDENTITY VERIFICATION DATA TRANSFER MEDIUM ETHERNET/E THERCAT CABLE (MIN.
