The EL6001 serial interface enables the connection of devices with RS232 interface The device connected to the EL6001 EtherCAT Terminal communicates with the automation device via the coupler. The active communication channel operates independently of the higher-level bus system in full duplex mode at up to 115.2 kbaud. The RS232 interface guarantees high immunity to interference through electrically isolated signals.
The EL6002 serial interface enables the connection of devices with two RS232 interfaces. The devices connected to the EL6002 EtherCAT Terminal communicate with the automation device via the Coupler.
Note that the EL6070 and EL6070-0033 are two different devices in terms of EtherCAT and are therefore not interchangeable in the EtherCAT I/O configuration.
The EL6080 EtherCAT memory terminal has 128 kB of non-volatile memory (NOVRAM). The terminal can be used to store and read out parameters and recipes. Part of the memory can also be used for the cyclic storage of machine data such as operating hour meters or production numbers.
The EL6224 IO-Link terminal enables connection of up to four IO-Link devices, e.g. actuators, sensors or combinations of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device.
The EL6601 Ethernet switch port terminal is used for the decentralized connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT Terminal network. The EtherCAT system relays the Ethernet communication of the connected devices fully transparent and collision-free.
The EL6614 Ethernet switch port terminal is used for the decentralized connection of Ethernet devices to the EtherCAT Terminal network. The EtherCAT system relays the Ethernet communication of the connected devices fully transparent and collision-free.
The EL6631-0010 PROFINET RT device (slave) terminal enables simple exchange of data between EtherCAT and PROFINET RT. It is a device in the EtherCAT strand, which can consist of up to 65,535 devices.
the EtherCAT bridge terminal EL6692 enables real-time data exchange between EtherCAT strands with different masters. It also enables synchronization of the distributed clocks of the individual strands.
Cycle times from 200 µs are possible. PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS DP-V1, PROFIBUS DP-V2 master and slave up to 12 Mbit/s powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces The error management for each bus user is freely configurable. It is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the “GSD” files.
The Interbus slave terminal facilitates data exchange between EtherCAT and Interbus. For both bus systems the terminal “mirrors” up to 32 word input and 32 word output to the respective other system.
