About TheCodeCaptain

General information This is a list about tested EtherCAT slave devices on a ctrlX CORE The list is not complete and will be extended or corrected as new devices are tested. It is just a snapshot, with different versions of the device firmware/hardware or controller firmware the behavior can be different. Did you test other devices, which are not listed or some entry is wrong? Let us know, you can drop me a private message. Interoperability status LIMITED:  only limited usage possible, see comment OK:           no known problems NO:           not functioning with ctrlX CORE EtherCAT Master   Vendor list Alphanumeric index: Beckhoff, Festo, Hilscher, IFM, PepperlFuchs, Rexroth, SMC Vendor Type Description Status Comment  Beckhoff         Beckhoff CU1128  Infrastructure, 8-port junction, EtherCAT LIMITED instead use EK1100 and several EK1122 Beckhoff BK1150  EtherCAT compact bus coupler OK ok, but instead of BKxxx/KLxxxx it is recommended to use EKxxxx/ELxxxx Beckhoff EK1100 EtherCAT Coupler OK   Beckhoff EK1101 EtherCAT Coupler with ID switch OK   Beckhoff EK1101-0080   EtherCAT Coupler with EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx) with ID switch, Fast Hot Connect OK  Hot Connect Groups not supported by EtherCAT Master Beckhoff EK1110 EtherCAT extension, E-BUS conversion to 100BASE-TX Ethernet OK   Beckhoff EK1122 2-port EtherCAT junction (star topology) OK   Beckhoff EK1300 EtherCAT P coupler OK   Beckhoff EK1322 2-port EtherCAT P junction with feed-in OK   Beckhoff EK1541 EtherCAT bus coupler with ID switch, plastic optical fibre OK   Beckhoff EK1561 1-port EtherCAT plastic optical fibre junction OK   Beckhoff EL1002 2-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 3 ms OK   Beckhoff EL1004 4-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 3 ms OK   Beckhoff EL1008 8-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 3 ms OK   Beckhoff EL1012 2-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 10 µs OK   Beckhoff EL1014 4-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 10 µs OK   Beckhoff EL1252 2-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 1 µs, timestamp OK   Beckhoff EL1258 8-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 1 µs, multi-timestamp OK   Beckhoff EL1262 2-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, 1 µs, oversampling OK   Beckhoff EL2002 2-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A OK   Beckhoff EL2004 4-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A OK   Beckhoff EL2008 8-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A OK   Beckhoff EL2014 4-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A, with diagnostics OK   Beckhoff EL2202 2-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A, push-pull, tristate OK   Beckhoff EL2252 2-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A, 1 µs, timestamp OK   Beckhoff EL2258 8-channel digital output terminal with multi-timestamping OK   Beckhoff EL3021 1-channel analog input terminal, current 4…20 mA, 12 bit, differential OK   Beckhoff EL3062 2-channel analog input terminal 0…10 V, single-ended, 12 bit OK   Beckhoff EL4002 2-channel analog output terminal 0…10 V, 12 bit OK   Beckoff EL6224 IO-Link terminal NO   Beckoff EL6228 IO-Link terminal NO   Beckhoff EL6601 Ethernet switch port terminal (EoE) OK   Beckhoff EL6631 PROFINET RT controller/device terminal NO   Beckhoff EL6632 PROFINET IRT controller NO   Beckhoff EL6652 EtherNet/IP master terminal NO   Beckhoff EL6692 EtherCAT Bridge LIMITED With Ethercat Master App V1.10.1 the AL status doesn't get reset upon switching from Init to OP.
