Effective single-cable solution

EtherCAT P is an ultra-fast industrial bus based on Ethernet. The 'P' stands for Power and represents a cost-saving single-cable solution for data and power. The connection is made using coded M8 connectors.
S+S EtherCAT P sensors are specifically tailored to automation without the use of switch cabinets in industrial process and plant engineering. They can be cascaded and also include a Bluetooth module for wireless communication. They can be integrated into a central energy management system as well as into a networked temperature, humidity and pressure control system in areas that are difficult to access.

S+S added value

A device-specific ESI configuration file facilitates the connection to the higher-level PLC level. Apart from that, our EtherCAT P sensors offer typical S+S added value features. For example, the 7/14-segment and 40-dot matrix areas of the backlit display and the bar graph can be feely configured.
There are also extended setting options for measured value, filtering, sampling time, etc., a communication error counter, retrievable historical data and integrated determination of the maintenance interval for the EtherCAT P sensor. This puts these sensor devices at the top of their performance class.
