EtherCAT Accessories
For EtherCAT Data Acquisition and Control Systems

ECAT-POWER-INJECTOR
Power Injector For  the EtherCAT Measurement Chain

EtherCAT data acquisition devices can be easily distributed using a single cable for power, data, and synchronization. Each cable can span up to 100 meters between DAQ nodes.

Since every DAQ device in the EtherCAT measurement chain consumes power and some power is lost due to the resistance of the cables we need to inject an additional power supply if the measurement chain consists of many data acquisition devices.

ECAT power injector product is used to inject additional power into the EtherCAT measurement chain. It is simply connected to the EtherCAT chain as any other EtherCAT DAQ module. ECAT power injector will inject and supply fresh power for all the DAQ nodes connecter after it.

ECAT-SYNC-JUNCTION
EtherCAT Synchronisation Junction

ECAT sync junction is used to synchronize Dewesoft EtherCAT data acquisition devices like KRYPTON with USB-based data acquisition systems like SIRIUS or DEWE-43A.

The ECAT sync junction is not required with R1DB/R2DB, R4, R8, R8rt, or MINITAURs DAQ systems because the sync junction is already built into the integrated SBOX processing computers.

ECAT-REPEATER
EtherCAT Repeater

The EtherCAT Repeater is used for the extension of EtherCAT hybrid cables allowing maximum connection of two 50 meters long cables. It increases connection stability for distributed EtherCAT systems with distances between measurement units larger than 50 meters.

EtherCAT Repeater is a rugged inline device with an IP67 rating and corresponds to the MIL-STD-810D standard. Lemo 1T Series 8-pin male connector on IN port and a female connector on OUT port. Pinout corresponds to the standard KRYPTON DAQ devices.  

An example of EtherCAT Repeater usage can be the railway application, where measuring devices are distributed throughout the chain of railroad cars.
