AMC offers with the EtherCAT slave coupler AMAX-5074 and the I/O modules from the AMAX-5000 series a flexible I/O system, which is suitable for automation companies of controlling systems and machines, which use EtherCAT as bus system in their systems.
The AMAX-5074 coupler works as an independent, remote EtherCAT slave I/O system or can be connected directly as an EtherCAT extension system when using the AMAX-5580 controller. The controller works as EtherCAT master.
The advantage of the AMAX-5000 system is the flexible configuration of the I/O signals. This provides the user with a wide range of analog and digital inputs and outputs in one system.
Technical features:
• Coupler of EtherCAT I/O modules to the 100BASETX EtherCAT network
• coupling to EtherCAT master systems
• for 256 configurable IDs
• Network cable: Ethernet/EtherCAT cable (min. Cat. 5), shielded
• Distance between two stations: max. 100 m (100BASETX)
• Bus interface: 2x RJ45 (1x input, 1x output)
