Overview: The TB20-C is an EtherCAT bus coupler designed to support Modular Device Profile (MDP) with two EtherCAT ports (RJ45, 100BASE-TX). It can connect up to 64 peripheral modules, allowing for hot-swapping during operation. The device features automatic I/O data mapping with a capacity of 1024 bytes each for input and output data.
Power Supply: The coupler operates on a 24 V DC power supply and includes an integrated power supply unit capable of delivering 2.5 A to power peripheral modules and the system’s I/O voltage.
Indicators and Interfaces: It includes 5 LEDs for status indication and a USB device port for diagnostics, parameter configuration, setup, and firmware updates using the "TB20 ToolBox". Configuration can also be done via the CoE protocol.
Configuration and Diagnostics: The TB20 ToolBox allows for system configuration and parameter setting without a higher-level controller, enabling system testing (I/O check). A concealed "factory reset" switch is available for restoring factory settings.
