EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology, Ethernet for control and automation technology) is an Ethernet solution for industrial automation, featuring excellent performance and simple operation. EtherCAT can replace the Ethernet star structure with a simple linear topology, or it can be used the "traditional" way, using switches to wire EtherCAT for integration with other Ethernet devices. The master station does not need a dedicated card and can connect to any existing Ethernet controller using a very simple interface. As a result, EtherCAT is also suitable for small and medium control applications, which opens up new applications for distributed I/O.
IL230x-B110 coupler terminal box further expanded the EtherCAT IP 67 series products. All extension terminal boxes in the Beckhoff Fieldbus terminal box family can be connected through IP-1ink. A site consists of an IL230x-B110 coupler terminal box and any number of extension terminal boxes (120 more).

diagnosis
The Beckhoff bus terminal box has many diagnostic functions to quickly locate faults. Diagnostic information is transmitted via EtherCAT and collected by the host station. Leds on the module are used to display network connection status, device status, input/output and power status.
Coupler terminal box
The EtherCAT coupler terminal box collects I/O signals from the extension terminal box via anti-jamming IP-1ink fiber. The terminal box detects connected modules and automatically assigns input and output data to the process image. The coupler terminal box has a 4-point digital input and a 4-point digital output; All other types of signals are provided by the extension terminal box.
