4.14 Extender 2 Port
The purpose of the Kuhnke FIO Extender is the extension of a Kuhnke FIO
block or a Kuhnke FIO Control (Embedded PC) by an EtherCAT slave,
which has a standard 100 base TX connection.
The Extender module changes the transmitting physics of LVDS (E bus) on
Twisted pair.
The module is usually arranged thereby at the end of the block. In addition,
the Extender can be used in arbitrary place behind the bus coupler and/or
the FIO Control module.
Thus EtherCAT Slaves can also be connected in star topology

Supply of the module:
via E-Bus
