Known for excellent performance, modular scalability, and user-friendliness since 2003, Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Terminals' entire portfolio is now undergoing a technological upgrade while remaining fully compatible with the existing ED series.
The new ED series EtherCAT Terminals feature a modernised design, tool-free installation through push-in connection, and app-based diagnostics via DMC code. This systematic evolution of the I/O system for the control cabinet makes signal acquisition more efficient and, like the original bus and EtherCAT Terminals, aims to set a standard for the future.
Among the ways this is achieved are flexible integration options that help ensure future viability and protect investments. And the simplified handling accelerates installation, commissioning, and maintenance. As maintenance is easier, downtime is reduced, and system availability is increased. Additionally, the ED terminals enable easy traceability for quality assurance and spare parts management.
Overall, these new IP20 EtherCAT Terminals lower system costs without sacrificing functionality or performance.
