Introduction

Interbus slave terminal

The Interbus slave terminal enables data exchange between EtherCAT and Interbus. For both bus systems the terminal "mirrors" up to 2 x 32 words (2 x 64 bytes) to the other system. The outputs are written to the inputs of the other bus with minimum delay. The terminal can use the Interbus protocol up to a baud rate of 2 Mbit. Due to the connection via EtherCAT, no PCI slots are required in the PC.

The Interbus baud rate can be changed manually from 2 Mbaud (default) to 500 kbaud in the CoE directory.

The EL6740-0010 is only suitable for connection to a remote bus, not a local bus.
