EtherCAT Interface Kit for Optris CTi / CTratio Pyrometers

The Optris CTi EtherCAT Interface Kit facilitates industrial communication for CTi, CTlaser, or CTratio infrared devices. The interface board, installed inside the CTi electronic box, uses a 2 x 4-pin M12 connector with IP67 protection and communicates via the EtherCAT protocol. Network settings, stored on the board, enable integration into industrial networks. Users can manage the interface through dedicated software tools.

• Exceptional Performance
• Flexible Topology
• Simple & Robust

General Specifications
Environmental rating: IP67 (Nema-4) (when installed)
Operating temperature: -20 °C … 80 °C
Relative humidity: 10 – 95 %, non-condensing

Interface Board Characteristics
Transfer speed: up to 100 Mbit/s
Connector: 2 x M12, D-coded

Do I need additional cables?

Ethernet cables shall be ordered separately. You will get the chort 25cm adapters to RJ45 socket

How do I reset the interface?

The interface must be switched off. Press the SW button on the board and switch the box on in the meantime. The LED flashes red. Release the button the fifth time it flashes. The LED flashes green 5 times as confirmation.

Can I connect multiple devices to the same network?

Yes, but each of the devices must get an own ID.

Which connector is used?

The industrial interface has two 4-pin, M12, D-coded connectors. Alternatevly you can used the supplied adapters to RJ45 socket.

Where are the network settings stored?

The network settings are stored on the interface board, which communicates with the Optris devices via the serial interface. The network settings remain on the board when the Optris devices are exchanged.
