EK9000 - Introduction

The EK9000 Bus Coupler connects Ethernet networks with the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx) and EtherCAT Box modules (EPxxxx) and converts the telegrams from Ethernet to E-bus signal representation.

One station consists of an EK9000 and any number of EtherCAT Terminals. RJ45 is used for the Ethernet connection. In EtherCAT, the Ethernet 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 Modbus-TCP protocol and therefore fits seamlessly into Ethernet networks.

Configuration

The EK9000 is configured based on HTML pages provided by the Bus Coupler or via the Modbus interface.
