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 EL6631-0010 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 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 BK1150 EtherCAT Coupler is the link between the EtherCAT protocol at fieldbus level and the Bus Terminals. The coupler converts the passing telegrams from Ethernet 100BASE-TX to the internal, fieldbus-independent terminal bus.
The KL3132 analog input terminal processes signals in the range of -10 to +10 V. The voltage is digitized to a resolution of 16 bits and is transmitted, electrically isolated, to the higher-level automation device.
The 2-port EtherCAT junction enables configuration of EtherCAT star topologies. A modular EtherCAT star can be realized by using several EP1122-0001 units in a station. Individual devices or complete EtherCAT strands can be connected at the junction ports. The EtherCAT junctions are connected via M8 sockets with direct display of link and activity status. The Run LED indicates the status of the EP1122-0001.
