Introduction
The EP6601-0002 Ethernet switch port module is used for decentralized connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT terminal network. The Ethernet communication of the connected devices is forwarded by the EtherCAT system in a fully transparent and collision-free manner.
The switch port module can be used at any position within the EtherCAT segment. No configuration is required.
Further benefits underline the particular suitability for the application in industrial environments:
- compact design in IP67 housing
- 10/100 Mbit/s, half and full duplex, automatic detection of data transfer rate
- support for network variables
