E3X-ECT/E3X-CRT/E3X-DRT21S/E3X-DRT21/E3X-CIF11
E3X Network Communication Interface Units
Reduced Wiring Solution
to Interface with Open
Communication Networks
Build efficient sensor input slave blocks using
E3X Communication Interface Units and
multiple E3X sensors. This solution reduces
wiring, saves space and shortens setup time.
• EtherCAT, CompoNet, DeviceNet and serial
communication units available
• Connect up to 16 fiber-optic sensors to each unit
(up to 30 with EtherCAT)
• Supports explicit message communications
• Use E3X-CN02 Cordless Slave Connector for
each sensor
• Remote setting, monitoring and operating
through CX-Integrator software
• Mobile Programming Console for simple setting
and monitoring locally
