The EK1101 is an EtherCAT terminal coupler developed by Beckhoff, which connects standard 100BASE‑TX Ethernet to the EtherCAT terminal bus. It converts Ethernet signals into EtherCAT fieldbus signals, enabling seamless data communication between the upper industrial controller and various EtherCAT I/O terminals. This module can be matched with all standard EL series EtherCAT terminals to realize distributed digital signal collection, output control and on-site equipment data transmission, widely used for decentralized field signal acquisition in automated production lines.
High-speed 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface, stable real-time data transmission with low communication latency
Plug-and-play terminal design, fast wiring and module expansion, no complicated configuration required
Compact DIN rail mounting structure, saves cabinet internal installation space
Supports hot-swappable replacement of subsequent I/O terminals without system power off
Wide range of operating voltage and strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, suitable for harsh industrial environments
Compatible with all Beckhoff standard EL/ES series EtherCAT terminals, flexible system expansion
