Ethernet switch terminals EL6601/EL6614
EL6601 | 1-port Ethernet switch terminal
The Ethernet switch terminal is used for the decentralised connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT Terminal network. The EtherCAT system relays the Ethernet communication of the connected devices fully transparent and collision free. The switch terminal can be installed at any location within the EtherCAT strand. No configuration is required. Further benefits underline the particular suitability for the application in industrial environments:
- compact design in EtherCAT Terminal housing
- 10/100 Mbaud, half or full duplex, with automatic baud ratedetection
EL6614 | 4-port Ethernet switch terminal
The Ethernet switch terminal is a decentralised switch that gets power from the E-bus. It relays the frames received from the ports to the destination ports. In full duplex mode, it thus enables collision-free communication of the connected devices with each other. Furthermore, the Ethernet communication of the connected devices is relayed to the EtherCAT system fully transparent and collision-free (uplink function). The switch terminal can be installed at any location within the EtherCAT strand. No configuration is required. Further benefits underline the particular suitability for the application in industrial environments:
- compact design in EtherCAT Terminal housing
- 10/100 Mbaud, half or full duplex, with automatic baud rate detection
