esd electronics is a member of the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG).
EtherCAT SubDevice Bridge
The ECX-EC EtherCAT® SubDevice Bridge is used to couple two EtherCAT segments. For this purpose the bridge implements two complete EtherCAT SubDevice interfaces via which it is integrated into the two segments.
The ECX-EC enables the process data exchange between two EtherCAT segments.
Time Synchronization (DC)
For time synchronization (DC) between the EtherCAT MainDevices it provides the exact time difference between both SubDevice timestamps as CoE object, which allows one MainDevice to adjust the time to the other MainDevice.
For time synchronization in redundancy case the ECX-EC Bridge is used as first and last SubDevice at the same time, which also allows the MainDevice to keep the SubDevices in both segments synchronized.
Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) „Switch Port“
Furthermore, the ECX-EC has an Ethernet interface that can be used as an Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) "switch port".
Carrier Rail Mounting
The module is a compact DIN rail module for DIN-EN mounting rail installation (TS 35).
The 24 V power supply can be provided via a plug with spring-cage connection or optionally via the InRailBus plug (TBUS plug), integrated in the mounting rail.
Simple Configuration
The configuration is done via typical EtherCAT configuration tools. (e.g. esd EtherCAT Workbench, TwinCAT®, etc.).
