EtherCAT P combines ultra-high-speed EtherCAT communication alongside two independent, electrically isolated 24 V DC power supplies—system and sensor supply (US) and peripheral\/actuator supply (UP)—into one single standard four-wire Ethernet cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a compact terminal design, the BECKHOFF EK1300 features P-coded M8 connections to prevent incorrect wiring configurations in the field. The coupler generates the required E-bus operating current from the incoming system supply voltage, permitting downstream communication across all connected standard EtherCAT Terminals on the terminal
