EtherCAT Box: compact and waterproof design
EtherCAT Box: compact and waterproof design With the expansion of the Beckhoff Fieldbus Box family via the EtherCAT Box, EtherCAT I/O technology no longer needs an electrical cabinet. All modules from this IP 67-rated series feature an integrated direct interface to EtherCAT, so that the system’s high performance is retained down to each I/O module. This opens up new possibilities in the “machine mount” IP 67 world: fast process data communication with eXtreme Fast Control (XFC) technology, high-precision measurement technology and integrated drive functions directly in the field. ...
