EK1101-0080 - Introduction
EK1101-0080 EtherCAT coupler with ID switch
The EK1101-0080 EtherCAT coupler with Fast Hot Connect technology is an extension of the EK1101
coupler.
Hot Connect is an EtherCAT feature for changing topologies through direct coupling or uncoupling during
operation. Coupled EtherCAT components are already quickly linked to the data communication after
connection as standard. Fast hot-connect technology further reduces the connection time significantly,
enabling even faster tool changes. Fast hot-connect ports may only be connected to each other, which is
why they are specially identified.
The EK1101-0080 EtherCAT coupler with Fast Hot Connect is complemented by the EK1122-0080
EtherCAT junction with Fast Hot Connect.
