EPP1332-0001
EPP1332-0001 | EtherCAT P junction with refresh
The EPP1332-0001 EtherCAT P Box has two functions in an EtherCAT P network:
- Junction: EPP1332-0001 distributes the incoming EtherCAT P signal to three output ports.
- Feed-in point for refreshing the supply voltages.
A refresh of the supply voltages may be necessary in EtherCAT P networks with long cables and/or high output currents. It prevents:
- the supply voltages falling below the permissible minimum due to line losses.
- the current carrying capacity of the EtherCAT P cables being exceeded by high output currents.
A planning tool for EtherCAT P networks integrated in TwinCAT provides support for deciding where in the network a refresh of the supply voltages should be applied.
