The EtherCAT slave-designed headend is compatible with the Mailbox CoE and FSoE protocols. The entire I/O station is replicated as a modular EtherCAT device using the Modular Device Profile (MDP) via the bus coupler. The corresponding ESI file is available for integrating the inline station into the programming system.
The IL CO BK-XC-PAC headend for CANopen® is available as an XC variant and can be used in harsh environments. For decentralized safety solutions, the two bus couplers can be combined with SafetyBridge Technology safety-oriented modules. Thanks to its compact design width of only 40 mm, this new generation of headends allows for easy implementation of compact I/O stations.
