Ethercat Cable Specification

Ordering information cable type specification.

Ethercat cable specification. Recommended for ethercat communications. Pre wired and molded models for rj45 m8 m12 d x y coded. The cable screen must not be used for strain relief. Every ethercat slave has two standard ethernet interfaces.

Ethercat uses 4 wires for signal transfer. Ethercat uses rj45 connectors. Ethernet and ethercat cables and connectors. In addition to a double shield structure copper foil tape is added to the m12 connector to improve communication characteristics see below.

Large variety of cable qualities. It has a stronger resistance to signal interference. The instructions of cable and connector manufacturers are to be observed. For connecting ethercat devices only ethernet cables that meet at least the requirements of category 5 cat5 according to en 50173 or iso iec 11801 should be used.

It s suitable for up to 10gigabit ethernet at 250 mhz. The protocol is standardized in iec 61158 and is suitable for both hard and soft real time computing requirements in automation technology. The goal during development of ethercat was to apply ethernet for automation applications requiring short data update times also. Ethercat p ethercat power is an addition to the ethercat technology on the cabling level.

Ethercat network is normally composed of one master for example industrial pc and some slaves for example servo drives filed bus terminals and so on. Ethercat ethernet for control automation technology is an ethernet based fieldbus system invented by beckhoff automation. The cable length between two ethercat devices must not exceed 100 m. Field wireable m12 and rj45 connectors.

Industrial ethernet ethercat cable shielded pur 4 x 2 x awg26 fixed installation cat7 green. Compared with cat5 and cat5e cable specification cat6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. Cat6 cable is a major improvement over cat5e. Ethercat network 2 2 ethercat interface specification ethercat interface should be connected by twisted pair wire.

From pvc jackets for fixed cable installations to highly flexible pur cables with a wire cross section. Ordering information cable type specification pict. Special cables are to be used for drag chains or garlands. Cable specification with strengthened shield for higher noise resistance.
