EK9500 - Introduction
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.
