<p>The EtherCAT<sup>®</sup> Fieldbus Coupler connects EtherCAT<sup>®</sup> to the modular WAGO I/O System. </p><p>The fieldbus coupler detects all connected I/O modules and creates a local process image. This process image may include a mixed arrangement of analog (word-by-word data transfer) and digital (bit-by-bit data transfer) modules.</p><p></p><p>The upper EtherCAT<sup>®</sup> interface connects the coupler to the network. The lower RJ-45 socket may connect additional EtherCAT <sup>®</sup> devices to the same line. </p><p>EtherCAT<sup>®</sup> (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is a real-time ETHERNET solution designed for industrial automation applications and characterized by high performance, flexible topology and simple configuration. With EtherCAT<sup>®</sup>, the costly ETHERNET star topology can be replaced with a simple line or tree structure.</p><p>The address selection switch is used to set an Explicit Device ID (EDI), which allows a fixed address to be assigned to an EtherCAT<sup>®</sup> slave.</p>
