Introduction

Introduction 1:
EJ8906-0005 - Board using the modules EJ5042-0010, EJ5101 and EJ1957 as an example

EJ8906-0005 - EJ starter board (EtherCAT plug-in modules not included)

The EJ starter board offers an effective introduction to the system world of EtherCAT plug-in modules. Without the need for prior investment in the development of individual signal distribution boards, the EJ starter board enables validation and straightforward testing of EtherCAT plug-in modules.

The starter kit contains a predefined PCB (signal distribution board) complete with corresponding slots for four EtherCAT plug-in modules of any design, as well as mating connectors for integrating the cable harnesses. The EtherCAT plug-in modules can be freely selected as required, which provides for individual function testing. They are not included in the scope of delivery.
