EL6601, EL6614 | Ethernet switch port terminals
The EL6601 and EL6614 Ethernet switch port terminals are used for the decentralised connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT Terminal network. The EtherCAT system relays the Ethernet communication of the connected devices fully transparent and collision-free.
The EL6614 Ethernet switch port terminal is a decentralised switch that gets power from the E-bus. It relays the frames received from the ports to the destination ports. In full duplex mode, it thus enables collision-free communication of the connected devices with each other.
The switch port terminals can be installed at any location within the EtherCAT strand. No configuration is required.
Further benefits underline the particular suitability for the application in industrial environments:
- compact design in EtherCAT Terminal housing
- 10/100 Mbaud, half or full duplex, with automatic baud rate detection
- support for network variables
