Intended Purpose

The EtherCATâ Bus Module CI511-ETHCAT is used as decentralized I/O module in EtherCATâ networks. The network connection is performed via 2 RJ45 connectors which are integrated in the Terminal Unit. The Bus Module contains 22 I/O channels with the following properties:

• 4 analog inputs (1.0…1.3)
• 2 analog outputs (1.5…1.6)
• 8 digital inputs 24 V DC in 1 group (2.0…2.7)
• 8 digital outputs 24 V DC in 1 group (3.0…3.7)
• Cam switch functionality

The inputs/outputs are electrically isolated from the Ethernet network. There is no potential separation between the channels. The configuration of the analog inputs/outputs is performed by software.
