    Description

    This Schneider Electric Altivar EtherCAT communication module has 2 ports with RJ45 connectors. This communication module enables integration of your drive in your EtherCAT process control network. It is simple to install and remove from Altivar drives thanks to its modular withdrawable design. It is compatible with Altivar Process ATV930 & ATV950, Altivar 32, Lexium 32, Altivar Machine ATV320 and Altivar Machine ATV340. It weighs 0.29kg.

    Features

    • This module delivers native EtherCAT communication capabilities directly to your motor control system, enabling your variable speed drives to function as high-performance fieldbus slaves. By leveraging real-time determinism and rapid data exchange rates, it ensures your motion control applications achieve the microscopic response times and synchronization required for precision manufacturing.
    • Equipped with 2 x RJ45 connectors, this option card allows for quick, tool-less Ethernet cabling and supports cost-effective line or ring topologies without requiring external network switches. This dual-port design significantly reduces your control panel wiring footprint, minimizes potential points of failure, and lowers overall network installation costs.
    • The module operates at a reliable 100 Mbps transmission rate to guarantee instantaneous throughput of critical diagnostics, operational parameters, and control commands. This high-speed performance prevents communication bottlenecks, giving your PLC network real-time visibility into drive telemetry to maximize machine uptime and optimize predictive maintenance workflows.
