Introduction to Solidot's six-port EtherCAT splitter product

The SW4-ECP06 is Solidot's six-port EtherCAT splitter, supporting flexible networking with one input port and five output ports. It is compatible with mainstream EtherCAT master devices and can construct star, tree, or hybrid topologies, making it suitable for multi-device synchronous control and complex network expansion requirements.

The six RJ45 ports support switch cascading functionality.
Based on a high-performance EtherCAT ASIC communication chip, it offers fast speeds.
Configuration is simple and supports major mainstream EtherCAT masters.
The power supply system supports reverse polarity and short-circuit protection.

1. Product Features

Multi-Port Cascading Expansion
Six RJ45 interfaces (1 input and 5 outputs) allow for cascading splitters to achieve large-scale network expansion.

High-Precision Clock Synchronization
With a built-in DC reference clock function, the device ensures network device signal synchronization accuracy of ≤1 μs, suitable for high-real-time control scenarios.

Plug-and-Play Design
Net ports support hot-swappable functionality, allowing device replacement without downtime, thus increasing system maintenance efficiency.

2. Application Examples

Wafer Automatic Handling System
In the wafer automatic handling system, the master station connects multiple servo drives and vision positioning modules through the SW4-ECP06. By utilizing the DC clock synchronization function, the master station precisely coordinates the movements of various devices, ensuring the accuracy of the robotic arm's picking and placing actions. Additionally, the cascading capability of the splitter allows for device expansion to dozens of nodes, meeting the demands of high-density production lines.

New Energy Battery Module Testing Line
In the charging and discharging testing phase of battery modules, the SW4-ECP06 constructs a tree-shaped network topology, where the master station collects real-time detection data from multiple testing instruments through the splitter. The hot-swappable feature allows for quick replacement of testing instruments, minimizing production line downtime.
