Planet Industrial 4-Port EtherCat Junction IECJ-400FT

PLANET IECJ-410FT EtherCAT Junction Slave

Powering Industrial Networks with Flexible EtherCAT Topologies

The PLANET IECJ-410FT is a compact industrial EtherCAT junction slave designed for distributed automation systems. With three RJ45 ports and one SFP slot, it enables the creation of star topologies and acts as a media converter between copper and fiber optic networks—ideal for extending reach via the IECC-210R media converter.

This device supports easy DIN-rail or wall mounting in confined spaces, offering flexible installation and quick diagnostics via LED indicators. It is built to perform reliably in harsh environments, supporting temperatures from -40 to 75°C, and features a robust IP30 metal housing that resists electrical noise and surges.

One of its standout features is its precise synchronization via distributed clocks, achieving timing accuracy below 1 µs across connected nodes. With a wide input voltage range (9–48 V DC) and dual power inputs, the IECJ-410FT ensures high availability and continuous operation even during power failures.
