Beckhoff EK1122-0008 | 2-port EtherCAT junction with M8 connection

The EK1122-0008 2-port EtherCAT junction can be used in an

EtherCAT Terminal segment at any desired position between the

EtherCAT Terminals and enables configuration of EtherCAT star

topologies. A modular EtherCAT star hub can be realized by using

several EK1122-0008 units in a station.

Special features:

• connection technology: 2 x M8 sockets

• connection lengths: up to 100 m

• can be used for configuring an EtherCAT star topology

The EK1122-0008 has two M8 sockets, which enable connection

of an Ethernet cable with M8 connector and establish a connection

to a further EtherCAT segment or to individual EtherCAT devices.

The M8 sockets are compatible with the EtherCAT Box modules

and therefore enables uniform cabling in the IP20 and IP67 range.

The EK1122-0008 supports coupling and uncoupling of EtherCAT

segments during operation (Hot Connect).
