R30GECT1

Remote I/O R30 Series

EtherCAT INTERFACE I/O MODULE

(EtherCAT)
Functions & Features
• Serves as a gateway for allowing EtherCAT data to be handled by network modules that use different protocols.
• Recognized as an analog I/O mixed module by the network modules.
• Works as a slave station on EtherCAT in the same manner as R30NECT1.
Typical Applications
• A gateway between EtherCAT and CC-Link IE Filed.
 
EtherCAT® is a registered trademark and patented technology, licensed by Beckhoff Automation GmbH, Germany.
