EtherCAT
EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is the Ethernet solution for industrial automation, characterized by outstanding performance and particularly simple handling.

EK1400 | EtherCAT G Coupler
The EK1400 EtherCAT G Coupler connects EtherCAT G with the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx). One station consists of an EK1400 Coupler, any number of EtherCAT Terminals and an EL9011 bus end cap or an EK1110 EtherCAT extension. The coupler provides the same functionality as a branch controller.
