EK9500 - Introduction

EK9500 - Introduction 1:Fig.5: EK9500

The EK9500 Bus Coupler connects EtherNet/IP™ networks with the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx) and EtherCAT Box modules (EPxxxx) and converts the telegrams from EtherNet/IP™ to E-bus signal representation.

One station consists of an EK9500 and EtherCAT Terminals. RJ45 is used for the EtherNet/IP™ connection. In EtherCAT, the EtherNet/IP™ 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 EtherNet/IP™ protocol and therefore fits seamlessly into EtherNet/IP™ networks.

Configuration

The EK9500 is configured based on HTML pages provided by the Bus Coupler or via the EtherNet/IP™ interface.
