The ECAT-2000 is equipped with the EtherCAT protocol and can be installed in daisy chain connection which allows the flexibility in devices installation and reduces infrastructure and operation 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 ECAT-2000 against the harmful interference and environment.
The ECAT-2011H is built in 8 isolated differential input channels or 16 single-ended input channels which can be selected by software. Users can obtain the input status via the process data. It has passed and verified by the conformance test tool, therefore eligible EtherCAT Master or configurator can operate it with ease and implement various applications easily.
