The EK1310 (EK1310) serves as a critical bridge within the Beckhoff EtherCAT P ecosystem, designed to convert standard E-bus signals into 100BASE-TX Ethernet for seamless feed-in into an EtherCAT P network. By integrating this module, you can extend your EtherCAT network while simultaneously injecting auxiliary power (US and UP) directly into the EtherCAT P line. This consolidated approach reduces cabinet wiring complexity by combining communication and power distribution into a single, shielded EtherCAT P cable, making it an ideal solution for decentralized I/O segments and machine-mounted automation components.
The EK1310 is housed in a compact, IP20-rated polycarbonate enclosure designed for standard 35 mm DIN rail installation. It features an M8 P-coded interface, which ensures reliable, high-speed data transfer while maintaining the physical separation of power and signal paths required by the EtherCAT P standard. The unit supports a robust external feed-in of 24 V DC for both system (US) and peripheral (UP) voltages, with a total current capacity of 3 A per voltage path. Its integrated electrical isolation (500 V) ensures protection against electrical noise and ground loops, essential for maintaining stable network performance in complex industrial environments.

What is the main benefit of converting to EtherCAT P?
EtherCAT P combines both communication and power into a single cable, which simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and decreases the time required for machine commissioning.
Can the EK1310 handle high-power peripheral loads?
The module supports up to 3 A per voltage path (US and UP). Ensure your total peripheral load does not exceed this 3 A limit to prevent thermal shutdown of the port.
Why is the interface P-coded?
The P-coding on the M8 connector is a specific standard for EtherCAT P to prevent the accidental connection of standard Ethernet or non-power-carrying M8 cables, ensuring safety and protecting the communication hardware.
Is this module suitable for field-level installation?
The EK1310 is rated IP20 and is designed for use within protected control cabinets. If you require EtherCAT P distribution at the machine level, please consider the IP67-rated EtherCAT Box versions.
Cable Integrity: Use only high-quality, shielded EtherCAT P cables. Ensure that the shield is properly terminated according to EtherCAT P standards to maintain signal integrity and meet EMC requirements.
Terminal Mounting: The EK1310 supports side-by-side mounting using the double slot and key connection. Ensure all modules are firmly snapped onto the DIN rail to guarantee the internal K-bus communication between adjacent terminals.
Power Feed Safety: When connecting the 24 V DC supply, verify polarity before powering up. Although the module is designed for robust industrial use, improper power feed can lead to communication loss or hardware damage.
