AKT 0100-71498 and 0100-71429 are standardized split-type EtherCAT digital I/O module under the AKT brand, designed for signal acquisition and execution control of distributed automation equipment. These two part numbers correspond to identical hardware bodies, differing only in internal channel logic configuration files.
Compliant with the EtherCAT CoE standard protocol, the equipment is equipped with dual RJ45 bus ports to support daisy-chain wiring. It integrates multiple isolated digital input and output channels, compatible with 24V industrial standard sensors and solenoid valve loads.
The unit features clip-on mounting for standard DIN35 rails and an IP20-rated enclosure suitable for centralized wiring inside control cabinets. It supports mainstream EtherCAT master controllers on the market including CODESYS, Beckhoff and Omron, and is widely applied for station point expansion of production line equipment, signal acquisition for tooling inspection, and peripheral control of small motion equipment.
Product Features
- Communication Protocol: Fully compliant with EtherCAT IEC61158 standard; supports CoE PDO/SDO parameter read-write and distributed DC clock synchronization.
- Bus Interface: 2-channel RJ45 100 Mbps Ethernet ports; maximum transmission distance between stations reaches 100 meters, stable communication achievable with CAT5 industrial network cables.
- Electrical Specifications: 24 V DC operating voltage with allowable fluctuation range of ±20%; overall static power consumption less than 130 mA (excluding external load current).
- Channel Isolation: All input and output channels adopt independent optoelectronic isolation with 500 V AC isolation voltage, eliminating common-ground interference between channels.
- Input Channels: NPN/PNP signal types optional; 3 ms input filter; logic low level: 0–7 V, logic high level: 18–30 V; single-channel input current 3 mA.
- Output Channels: Transistor version with max. 0.5 A per channel; relay version with 5 A resistive load contact capacity; output status can be latched or reset after power failure as selected.
- Mounting Structure: Clip-on mounting for standard DIN35 top-hat rails; tool-free assembly and disassembly clips; IP20 enclosure protection rating.
- Environmental Adaptability: Operating temperature range: -20 ℃ ~ +60 ℃; storage temperature range: -25 ℃ ~ +85 ℃; ambient humidity 5%–95% non-condensing; compliant with EN60068 vibration and shock standards.
- Compliance Certifications: CE and RoHS certified; conforms to EN61131-2 general specifications for industrial equipment.
- Fault Diagnosis: Hardware-level fault reporting; fault codes for bus disconnection, undervoltage, channel short-circuit and load overcurrent can be read via the master station.
