ICP DAS ECAT-2000 Series EtherCAT slave I/O modules

Click2Contact

ICP Electronics has expanded its ECAT-2000 Series of EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation) slave I/O modules designed for industrial monitoring and control applications. The three latest models are: the ECAT-2052, featuring eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs; the ECAT-2053, with 16 isolated digital inputs; and the ECAT-2060, with six isolated digital inputs and six relay outputs.

The series is equipped with the EtherCAT protocol and installed by daisy-chain connection, which permits flexibility in device installations and reduces infrastructure and operational costs. All the modules can be deployed in the network topologies such as star, line or ring. The isolation input and output design protects the series against harmful interference and the environment. Users can obtain the input and output status not only via the process data but also from its LED indicators.

Other features include: on-the-fly processing (EtherCAT); a powerful MCU to handle efficient network traffic; 2 x RJ45 bus interface; distance between stations up to 100 m (100BASE-TX); removable terminal block connector; RoHS compliance; and ESD protection 4 kV contact for each channel.
