Beckhoff describes the EK1100 as connecting the EtherCAT Device Protocol with the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx\/ESxxxx\/EMxxxx), enabling the master to address and exchange data with a wide range of connected I\/O modules. The unit is specified as a standard IP20 IO device, and Beckhoff offers variants such as the EK1100-0008 with an M8 connection for alternate mounting or signaling needs. As a core member of Beckhoff's EtherCAT coupler lineup, the EK1100 is designed for direct use on the EtherCAT master and is typically paired with Beckhoff I\/O terminals to build scalable, modular automation architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beckhoff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676812017966,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_656628fc-6f41-4cd2-9758-d42b01de47e4.jpg?v=1769553764","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/beckhoff-automation-ek1100-ethercat-coupler-module","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
