EtherCAT Analog Output Module with digital I/Os Q.bloxx EC A109
The product line Q.series-EC has been designed for demanding measurements found in todays most industrial measuring and testing environments. The range and flexibility of the modules allows an optimized solution for each single task.
Data exchange with the automation level takes place via EtherCAT interface.
EtherCAT is a real-time Ethernet interface with an IEC-Standard IEC61158 open protocol.
In measurement and automation technology it is suited for accurate hard and soft real-time requirements. Short cycle times (≤100 µs) and low Jitter for accurate synchronization (≤1 µs) are features of the interface.
Most important features:
