The hardware platform matches PFN1024-ARM: 3 Ethernet ports and 4 isolated RS485 channels. Check the EC1024-ARM wiring instructions for the role of each Ethernet port.

Check before connecting

Check the device brand, model, driver version and interface. Use the wiring diagram to confirm terminals and port assignments.
Prepare a point list with addresses or objects, data types, byte order, units and read/write permissions.
Confirm the role at each end and the device address, serial settings, or IP address and port.
Import this model’s ESI file into the EtherCAT master project and check process-data mapping against the supporting instructions.

How to choose within a series

Match device-side protocols and the host system first, then check ports, wireless connections and capacity. Candidates below use confirmed model specifications.

Current model groupEC1024

You need multiple serial and Ethernet protocols

Check models confirmed to cover all acquisition protocols for serial and Ethernet connections. Check protocol scope and physical port counts separately. Confirm dedicated CAN, KNX TP and 2-wire MBus connections for the specific model.
