Overview

The ZJEC100-6T is an industrial EtherCAT branch module with 1 EtherCAT input port and 5 EtherCAT output ports, built for star-topology network deployment across multi-axis machinery and production-line automation. It runs the EtherCAT industrial real-time fieldbus protocol at up to 100Mbit/s full duplex with DC (Distributed Clock) synchronization, and supports cascading additional branch modules to extend the network. Mounted on DIN-rail or wall and powered by DC 24V (20.4–28.8Vdc) with overload and reverse-polarity protection plus strong EMC immunity, it delivers fast, reliable data transmission in harsh industrial environments.

Is This the Right Fit?

Six real deployment scenarios matched to this model's actual datasheet specifications.

Multi-Axis EtherCAT Star Networking1 EtherCAT input port and 5 EtherCAT output ports let this branch module wire multi-axis servo/motion nodes directly in a star topology for complex machinery and production-line EtherCAT networks.
DIN-Rail Cabinet InstallationDIN-rail (default) or wall-mount installation with DC 24V (20.4–28.8Vdc) power input fits directly into electrical control cabinets alongside PLCs and servo drives.
Extreme-Temperature Outdoor CabinetsAn optional wide-temperature build extends operation to -40~+75°C (standard build is rated -10~+55°C), suited to unheated equipment rooms and outdoor cabinets facing seasonal extremes.
Precision Multi-Axis Motion SynchronizationDC (Distributed Clock) synchronization keeps EtherCAT slave clocks aligned across all 5 output branches, supporting the tight timing that multi-axis motion control applications require.
Multi-Level Branch CascadingBranch-module cascading support lets several ZJEC100-6T units be daisy-chained to extend the star topology and cover larger production-line footprints from a single EtherCAT master.
Standardized 100M Full-Duplex Cabling100Mbit/s full-duplex (100Base-TX) EtherCAT ports with Auto MDI/MDIX and standard Cat5e cable runs up to 100m simplify cable planning with off-the-shelf Ethernet cabling.
Not a good fit if:
  • Not a standard managed/unmanaged Ethernet switch — no MAC address table, VLAN, or IP routing; it only distributes the EtherCAT real-time bus in a star topology.
  • Fixed at 6 ports (1 in / 5 out) per unit — larger port counts require cascading additional branch modules together.
  • IP40 metal enclosure only — needs a cabinet or additional protection for direct outdoor rain/dust exposure.
