BECKHOFF · HMIs & Displays

Description  The EK1501 is an EtherCAT Coupler with multi-mode fiber-optic connection , designed to bridge the EtherCAT protocol at the fieldbus level and the EtherCAT Terminals . It converts Ethernet 100BASE-FX telegrams to E- bus signal representation . Featuring 2 multi-mode fiber-optic SC duplex connections , it supports connection lengths up to 2 km . It includes 3 ID switches for variable topology implementation and can manage up to 65,535 EtherCAT Terminals . The EK1501 has two SC duplex sockets and three hexadecimal ID switches , providing flexible network configuration . It operates on a 24 V DC system and field supply , delivering up to 5 V and 2 A to connected EtherCAT Terminals.       Technical Specifications  Part Number EK1501   Category PLCs / Machine Control   Subcategory   PLC Module / Rack   Data transfer medium   Multi-mode glass fiber 50/125 µm (MM)   Distance between stations   Max . 2000 m (100BASE-FX)   Number of EtherCAT Terminals   Up to 65,534   Type / number of peripheral signals   Max . 4.2 GB addressable I/O points   Number of configurable IDs   4096   Protocol   EtherCAT   Delay   Approx . 1 µs   Data transfer rates   100 Mbit /s   Bus interface   2 x SC Duplex   Power supply   24 V DC (-15%/+20%)   Current consumption from US   130 mA + (∑ E- bus current /4)   Current consumption from UP   Load   Current supply E- bus   2000 mA   Power contacts   Max . 24 V DC / Max . 10 A   Electrical isolation   500 V ( power contact / supply voltage / Ethernet )   Weight   Approx . 190 g   Operating / storage temperature   -25…+60°C / -40…+85°C   EMC immunity / emission   Conforms to EN 61000-6-2 / EN 61000-6-4   Relative humidity   95%, no condensation   Vibration / shock resistance   Conforms to EN 60068-2-6 / EN 60068-2-27   Protection rating / installation position   IP20 / Variable       Information About EK1501  The EK1501 is an EtherCAT coupler with a multi-mode fiber-optic connection . This device functions as the intermediary between the EtherCAT protocol at the fieldbus level and the EtherCAT terminals . It converts the passing telegrams from Ethernet 100BASE-FX to E- bus signal representation . The configuration of a station comprises the coupler and any number of EtherCAT terminals , which are automatically detected and individually displayed in the process image .   The EK1501 features two SC duplex sockets for the fiber-optic connection . These sockets allow for connection lengths of up to 2 km . The device also includes three hexadecimal ID switches for implementing variable topologies . The coupler can support up to 65,535 EtherCAT terminals in the overall system .   The upper Ethernet connection on the EK1501 is used to connect the coupler to the network . The lower SC duplex socket may be utilized to connect additional EtherCAT devices within the same segment . The multi-mode glass fiber connection , with a specification of 50/125 µm, enables a maximum distance of 2000 meters between two couplers . A group of EtherCAT components can be assigned a unique ID using the hexadecimal ID switches , which allows this group to be positioned at any location within the EtherCAT network . This functionality facilitates the implementation of variable topologies . Additionally , an EtherCAT junction or extension can be used to extend or establish line or star topologies .
