Click2Contact

ICP Australia has introduced the ICP DAS ECAT-2517, an 8-port EtherCAT junction slave module. The module is designed for realising flexible wiring by daisy chain and branch. The device cannot be used as a standard Ethernet switch. The module has an input range of +10 to +30 VDC, with the consumption range being 0.23 A at 24 VDC, allowing the module to function optimally, per industry standards. The construction of the module is metal so it can endure tough operating conditions.

The module is also compact, measuring 28 x 154 x 110 mm, so that it can fit in space constraint applications. The module comes with a DIN-Rail installation option, making it user-friendly. The module is also designed to survive extreme temperatures with its operating temperature ranging from –25 to +75°C, making the module an asset in tough industrial environments.

Key features include powerful MCU that can handle efficient network traffic and ESD Protection 4 kV contact for each port. The device features 100BASE-TX with a maximum distance between stations up to 100 m. The device is also EtherCAT conformance test tool verified.
