IECS-1116-DI Industrial EtherCAT Slave I/O Module with Isolated 16-ch Digital Input

Description

PLANET IECS-1116-DI is an industrial EtherCAT slave I/O module equipped with the EtherCAT protocol for today’s distributed industrial applications. The IECS-1116-DI provides high-density digital input channels and is protected with 3750 VDC isolation. Its compact size and DIN-rail mounting make installation in a cabinet easy. Pluggable terminal blocks and LED indicator help users to maintain and set up their system.

The IECS-1116-DI is an ideal high-speed distributed system solution which provides quick installation, real-time connection status monitoring, and wide-ranging power input and operating temperature to improve work efficiency, making them suitable for the harsh environment. Besides, the module comes with 2 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports. Through the EtherCAT technology, a network of up to 65,535 devices can be supported without the limitation of the type of topology — line, bus, tree, star or any arrangement – -being used.

An EtherCAT slave is an electronic device that carries out cyclical sequences of calculations and/or data copying tasks at a certain interval (cycle). The EtherCAT slave working cycle (e.g. in the range of a few µs up to several ms) can be derived from different sources. EtherCAT node can measure time difference between leaving and returning frame. With distributed clocks, EtherCAT can realize a precise synchronization time of <1us between each slave module.

With the IP40 metal industrial case, the IECS-1116-DI provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets without air conditioning. It features a ventilated construction in which a cooling fan is not necessary, thereby making its operation noiseless. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IECS-1116-DI can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
