The Beckhoff EK1110 EtherCAT Coupler is engineered to expand automation networks by converting E-bus signals into 100BASE-TX Ethernet for long-distance communication. Using shielded Cat.5 cables, it supports distances up to 100 m with stable 100 Mbit/s transfer rates and a minimal delay of just 1 µs. Designed to work with any EtherCAT protocol, this model ensures smooth system integration. Power is drawn directly from the E-bus, consuming a typical 130 mA, while electrical isolation of 500 V safeguards the connection between supply voltage and Ethernet, reinforcing operational safety.
Reliability is a core strength of the EK1110. It operates flawlessly in demanding environments with a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and safe storage up to -40°C to +85°C. The coupler meets EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 standards for EMC immunity and emission, along with vibration and shock resistance per EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27. With a lightweight build of only 50 g and IP20 protection, it is easy to install in compact cabinets while ensuring industrial robustness. Certifications including CE, UL, CCC, ATEX, IECEx, and DNV GL underline its suitability for global markets and regulated industries.
Engineers and system integrators trust the Beckhoff EK1110 EtherCAT Coupler for its ability to extend EtherCAT Terminals seamlessly in large-scale automation projects. Whether applied in automotive assembly lines, process industries, or machine tools, it provides a scalable, efficient, and secure solution for connecting distributed I/O. By combining compact design with certified durability, the Beckhoff EK1110 ensures long-term reliability in critical industrial environments.
