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

ICP Electronics Australia has expanded its range of EtherCAT slave I/O modules by adding three modules to the ICP-DAS ECAT-2000 Series. The ECAT-2052 features eight isolated digital inputs and eight digital outputs; the ECAT-2053 with has 16 isolated digital inputs; and the ECAT-2060 offers six isolated digital inputs and six relay outputs.

All the modules can be deployed in network topologies such as star, line or ring. The isolated input and output design protects the ECAT-2000 Series against harmful interference and environmental factors, with ESD protection of up to 4 kV for each channel.

The devices are EtherCAT conformance test tool verified and support distances between stations up to 100 m (100base-Tx). Daisy-chain connections are supported through two RJ45 interfaces. They also feature a removable terminal block connector and LED indicators for I/O status.
