Anybus CompactCom B40 Brick

The Anybus CompactCom B40 for EtherCAT is a high-performance network interface in Brick format — ready-made with software and hardware to enable communication between your device and the EtherCAT network.

The 100 Mbit/s EtherCAT interface uses 2 standard RJ45 connectors. It supports a simple low cost line structure, a tree structure, daisy chaining or drop lines - no expensive infrastructure components are required.

The EtherCAT protocol is based on the standard IEEE 802.3 layers according to ISO/OSI. The module physical layer is 100BASE-X. The communication profile is the CANOpen adapter device profile using SDOs and PDOs for data communication.
