The upper Ethernet interface is used to connect the coupler to the network; the lower socket serves for the optional connection of further EtherCAT devices in the same segment. A group of EtherCAT components can be assigned a unique ID via the hexadecimal ID switches. This group can then be located at any position within the EtherCAT network. Variable topologies are therefore easily implementable. In addition, an EtherCAT junction or an EtherCAT extension can be used for the extension or for setting up a line or star topology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe system and field supply, each 24 V DC, is provided directly at the coupler. The attached EtherCAT Terminals are supplied with the current required for communication from the supplied system voltage. The coupler can supply a maximum of 5 V and 2 A. If higher current is required, power feed terminals such as the EL9410 have to be integrated. The field supply is forwarded to the individual I\/O components via the power contacts with up to 10 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer information\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:199\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeckhoff\u003c\/strong\u003e Automation is a German manufacturer of open automation systems, including industrial PCs, I\/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software, and hardware for machine vision.
