TwinCAT 3.1 offers an option to manage TwinCAT software licenses via the EtherCAT Terminal EL6070. The EL6070 embodies the hardware license key in the modular EtherCAT I/O system. Data transfer takes place via EtherCAT.
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 EL6631 PROFINET RT controller (master) terminal supports the complete real-time function (RT) as well as extensive diagnostic possibilities. All services in accordance with Conformance Class B are supported. Up to 15 PROFINET RT devices can be projected on the EL6631.
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 EL6632 PROFINET IRT controller terminal offers the complete RT (real-time) or IRT (isochronous real-time) functionality and a wide range of diagnostic options.
The EL6688 EtherCAT Terminal presents itself as a device in the IEEE 1588 synchronization system with support for PTPv1 (IEEE 1588-2002) and PTPv2 (IEEE 1588-2008) based on Ethernet.
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 Terminal enables within an EtherCAT Terminal network the integration of any CANopen devices and can either be master (EL6751) or slave (EL6751-0010).
The Terminal enables within an EtherCAT Terminal network the integration of any DeviceNet devices and can either be master (EL6752) or slave (EL6752-0010).
The EL9515 power supply terminal takes the input voltage (24 V DC) and uses it to generate an output voltage of 15 V DC at 0.5 A, which can be tapped at the terminal.
