High performance in a compact design

Every I/O terminal plays a role in the EtherCAT 

EtherCAT represents high-performance data transfer. It is an industrial Ethernet protocol specially developed for the requirements of automation technology. So that the I/O modules achieve the best possible level of performance each I/O module plays a part in the EtherCAT. Dispensing with an intermediate bus, the I/O data pass direct from the terminal to the appropriate master unit for processing. This guarantees the best access performance coupled with optimal synchronisation of the cyclic PLC task.  

High I/O integration in a small construction for decentralised solutions

With around twenty different I/O modules the E-I/O system represents a comprehensive and well-structured system that is at the same time a complete I/O system. A removable spring pressure 连接or is located on the compact, 25 mm wide I/O terminal. The I/O modules can be easily alined on the usual normed DIN rails. The high concentration of I/Os on a module, supplemented with multi-functional I/O modules, saves space in the control cabinet and in storage.

Best CODESYS integration

The CODESYS programming tool plays a key role in Berghof control solutions. For the most efficient CODESYS I/O integration the CODESYS EtherCAT master and the CODESYS control configuration are available, making the EtherCAT technology together with the current CODESYS Version 3 particularly easy to use.

Integration in Berghof control systems

The E-I/O modules can be attached directly to the EC1000 PLC controller. The I/Os are thus optimally integrated in the CANtrol EC control system as regards both the hardware and software technology. To construct decentralised I/O islands an EtherCAT bus coupler is available. This also provides a link to a superordinate controller such as a DC1000 display controller.
