EtherCAT diagnostic expansion module, Modicon MCM, spring term

This Modicon MCM standard ("non-safe") communication module has one EtherCAT connection with two RJ45 (in/out) connectors. It is designed to monitor remotely your safety system with the commonly used EtherCAT protocol, without additional gateways. It has a rated supply voltage of 24V DC. It is furnished with spring clamp terminals, removable terminal block for electrical connection. It is an IP20 rated product. The non-safe communication modules are designed for diagnostics connection and data communication purposes to machine field bus or network systems. Its transmission rate is 100Mbit/s for full duplex bus length. This communication module is connected to the safety controller via the backplane expansion connector. It weighs 0.3kg. Its dimension are 22.5mm (Depth), 99mm (Height) and 114.5mm (Width). Its housing is red. It is powered with 24 VDC. The maximum cable distance between two devices is 100m. This Modicon MCM standard ("non-safe") communication module is certified by RCM, CULus and TÜV. Compatible accessories for Modicon MCM module are a memory card and the backplane connector. The communication module instals on Omega 35mm DIN rail conforming to EN 50022, and is connected to the safety controller via the backplane expansion connector. The Modicon MCM modular safety controller system provide flexibility and scalability from 8 inputs, 2 dual/4 single channel outputs up to 128 inputs, 16 dual/32 single channel outputs, up to 32 or 48 diagnostic status outputs. Modicon MCM modular safety controller system are designed to monitor multiple safety functions on and around a machine to minimise the risk of people accessing the dangerous moving parts of the machine.
