The EP1111-0000 has three decimal ID switches for assigning an ID to a group of EtherCAT components. This group can be present in any position in the EtherCAT network, as a result of which variable topologies can be realized in a simple manner. The EtherCAT connection is established via shielded M8 screw connectors with direct display of link and activity status. The Run LED indicates the status of the EP1111-0000.
