ICP DAS ECAT-2610 EtherCAT to Modbus RTU gateway

Click2Contact

The ICP DAS ECAT-2610 is an EtherCAT to Modbus RTU gateway. Serial RS232/422/485-based industrial devices and equipment can be integrated into an EtherCAT-based control system without the need for any changes to the device: just connect and configure, and it’s finished.

The ECAT-2610 communicator is a protocol converter gateway that connects non-networked industrial devices and equipment to EtherCAT. The gateway performs an intelligent protocol conversion and presents the serial data to the Master PLC/controller as easily processed I/O data.

The device supports maximum 256-word input and 256-word output data, and a maximum baud rate of 115,200 bps, allowing system integrators to retrofit older automation devices into modern EtherCAT communication systems. Requiring no hardware or software changes to be made to the connected device, it is compatible with all PLCs with EtherCAT support. No PLC function blocks are required.
