KeConnect C2 – BL 27x/x

Characteristics

• The BL 27x/x coupler connects EtherCAT with the approved and robust KEBA IO modules. 
• It has excellent and precise timing characteristics due to the usage of distributed clocks. 
• The support for CAN and serial modules allows for flexible migration to this state-of-the-art technology.
• The BL 27x/x coupler comes with four onboard digital inputs OR outputs
