EtherNet/IP Bus Couplers Handle IP20, IP65/67 July 10, 2008
A pair of bus couplers offers flexible IP20 and IP65/67 EtherNet/IP I/O connectivity, providing integrated I/O that reduces installed cost. The Inline EtherNet/IP coupler connects a complete range of up to 61 IP20 modules. For distributed machine-mount IP65/67 applications, the Fieldline EtherNet/IP bus coupler connects up to 16 modules. The Inline EtherNet/IP bus coupler is only 80 millimeters wide and enables field communication through two RJ45 ports. This establishes the connection to the EtherNet/IP network and facilitates building a linear structure. The Fieldline EtherNet/IP bus coupler opens a powerful local bus, which connects local devices, including digital I/O, analog I/O, and Bluetooth I/O. It has two Ethernet connections that are designed as D-encoded M12 sockets. The bus coupler has a transmission rate of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and features IP 65/67 protection.
