EtherCAT bus module for valve terminal, connection to the controller - E.MC

This bus module connects an E.MC valve terminal directly to the controller via EtherCAT. EtherCAT is a real-time Ethernet with very short cycle times.

Advantages

• Connection via EtherCAT, with no separate control line per valve.
• Compact module weighing 220 g, mounted directly on the valve terminal.
• Valve terminal and fieldbus remain separate assemblies, so only the bus module changes if the control system changes.

Applications

• Valve terminals on machines with EtherCAT control
• Converting from multi-pin to bus connection
• Decentralised valve terminals with short tubing runs to the actuator
