Helmholz TB20-C Bus Coupler

EtherNet/IP bus coupler

Varunummer: 600-175-1AA11

The EtherNet/IP bus coupler makes it possible to access data from peripheral modules using the EtherNet/IP protocol. It can accommodate up to 64 modules of any kind connected in series with the bus coupler.
The EtherNet/IP bus coupler features an integrated two-port switch that allows for star and line topology configurations. 
A large I/O image table size of one kbyte makes it possible to implement comprehensive and complex systems.
TB20 ToolBox can be used to easily configure the system and the various module parameters and transfer the corresponding settings to the coupler.
A functioning TB20 configuration will always require a bus coupler and at least one peripheral module. The bus coupler supports hot-swapping for replacing modules during operation.
