TRM SERIES
Tpa couplers allow you to connect the expansion modules to the implemented fieldbuses. Each device has 16 digital I/O lines at 24 V (short-circuit proof, LED signals), so that the cost of the node is better amortized. You will also find custom couplers in this section, designed and developed to make specific devices interface with different fieldbuses, such as solenoid valve blocks, for instance.
EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based, real-time communication technology, especially suited for communication between control systems and peripherals, like I/O systems, sensors, and drives. EtherCAT makes it possible to use Ethernet in the industrial automation field, as it grants short updating times, low communication jitter, and a low price. EtherCAT can optimize the network performance thanks to all the different network slave-devices directly processing the frame on the fly. Using the Distributed Clock allows us to synchronize all the secondary devices with a jitter lower than 1 μs. As for the interface towards the applications, EtherCAT can use the protocols CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT), SoE (SERCOS over EtherCAT), FoE (File Access over EtherCAT), and EoE (Ethernet over EtherCAT), so to guarantee compatibility with the most common real-time fieldbus technologies and with the standard Ethernet ones, such as TCP/IP, UDP/IP, or FTP.
TRM 2 ENC
code TRS0.2.01
The coupler TRS-CAT allows you to connect an EtherCAT bus to a TRS bus and it can be mounted on DIN rails.
TRS-CAT is a complex slave device (bus coupler) as determined by ETG specifications. TRS-CAT includes 16 bidirectional digital I/O lines; each is configurable either as input or output. You can expand the TRS-CAT module with any TRS expansion unit, until a maximum of seven expansions.
TRS-CAT is compliant with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

TRM8AIAMP
code TRS0.2.02
Star-CAT is a hub designed for EtherCAT fieldbus.
Star-CAT turns an EtherCAT linear network topology into a star topology by using an input channel and up to 3 different output channels.
FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
-
It interfaces by connecting the input to any point of the EtherCAT network, verifying that the transmission flow includes the first master;
-
it connects to the EtherCAT bus through RJ-45 connectors;
-
it is possible to connect the three outputs to any other EtherCAT slave line, or again, a Star-CAT module, was a further “branching” of the network needed;
-
LED signalling the status of module and EtherCAT communication, in compliance with ETG specifications.
