For Ethercat field IO-modules, like f.i. EP2308-0001 from Bechkhoff,
you always have an Ethercat in connection and an Ethercat out connection, to daisy chain the modules.
Is this some kind of 'Ethercat switch', or a strictly electrical connection?
Or in other words, if the fielbus IO module has no power, will the Ethercat be able to pass through to components behind the powerd down module?
