The EL6021-0021 serial interface enables the connection of devices with RS422 or RS485 interface. These devices 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 EL6224 IO-Link terminal enables the connection of up to four IO-Link devices. These can be actuators, sensors or a combination 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 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.
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.
The EL9540 system terminal contains an overvoltage filter for the 24 V field supply. The filter protects the EtherCAT Terminal from line-bound surge voltages that can occur due to high-energy, dynamic disturbances such as switching overvoltages at inductive consumers or indirect lightning strikes at the supply lines.
The BC3100 Bus Terminal Controller is a Bus Coupler with integrated PLC functionality and has a fieldbus interface for PROFIBUS. It is an intelligent slave and can be used as distributed intelligence in the PROFIBUS system. In the BC3100, one unit consists of the controller, between 1 and 64 terminals, and a bus end terminal.
