XB-ET-31 Functionality

What is the function of the XB-ET-31? I have an electrical cabinet with an X3 core and an XB-EC-12 bus coupler. A couple hundred feet away I have an operator station with another XB-EC12 bus coupler and a WR21 HMI. Is it possible to transmit codesys webvisu data to the HMI without using a second ethernet cable? I'm hoping the XB-ET-31 on both ends would allow this.

Core XF10/51 to the XB-ET-31 in the cabinet, XB-ET-31 in the operator station to the HMI. With those connections does the ethernet data get transferred through the etherCat network?

I think there is no explicit documentation for this, as only following steps needs to be done:

  • Switch on EoE in the EtherCat master configuration via the ctrlX IO Engineering.

  • Choose the EoE network adapter for communication in web visu.

  • Choose correct IP address for the HMI.

Beware that any device connected to the junction module will have access to all EoE devices.
