8.10 Extending the EtherCAT connection (optional)
8.10.1 Overview
EtherCAT connections are limited to 100 m in length. By using active bus couplers or media converters, which are installed decentrally in the system, it is possible to extend EtherCAT connections between EtherCAT devices.

NOTICE!
Bus couplers or media converters not configured in the system!
Improper installation of bus couplers and media converters can lead to system malfunctions. Bus couplers and media converters that have not been configured cause the communication path to be interrupted and disrupt access to all EtherCAT devices downstream from the bus coupler that has not been configured.

• Bus couplers and media converters must be entered in the hardware configuration of the system. This requires a change in the MCU system software. The use of bus couplers and media converters must therefore be coordinated with Conductix-Wampfler Automation GmbH.
• Positions of configured bus couplers and media converters in the system can be found within the project-specific system layout for laying the rail or inductive data bus.

EtherCAT connections can be extended as follows:

• with Beckhoff EK1100 type bus couplers and network cables. The EtherCAT connection between two EtherCAT devices can be extended by not more than 100 m.
  Chapter ‘Extending EtherCAT using a EK1100 bus coupler’ on page 51

• with Beckhoff media converters type CU1521-0000 using network cables and fibre optic cables.
  The EtherCAT connection between two EtherCAT devices can be extended by not more than 2100 m.
