As a direct plug‑in EtherCAT Box component, the EK1100 couples EtherCAT data from the 100BASE-TX RJ45 master interface to the EL\/ES\/EM terminal blocks and serves as the primary entry point for fieldbus I\/O in many Beckhoff systems. The EK1100 family is designed for use directly on the EtherCAT master, supports up to 100 m between couplers, and includes variants such as EK1100-0008 with an M8 connection configuration; several EK1100 models also offer HotConnect with address setting on the device. This module is widely described as the standard EtherCAT coupler for Beckhoff systems, enabling scalable, reliable I\/O distribution in automation projects without a separate PLC layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beckhoff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676812116270,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_e75f02f6-a3fc-4970-9c58-b019c67f65af.jpg?v=1769553765","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/beckhoff-ek1100-ethercat-fieldbus-coupler-module","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
