Product Description
Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL6070-1533 measures about 50 grams in weight, which means that it can be easily incorporated into existing automation platforms. This EtherCAT terminal provides a good performance even at a temperature of -25°C – +60°C, thereby making it possible depending on the environmental conditions. The current consumption of the EL6070-1533 is relatively low and usually ranges between 120 mA on average on the E-bus. The low power requirement improves energy utilization, which is vital for mass production industries, for which energy expenditure is a major concern. Furthermore, it complies with the vibration characteristic EN 60068-2-6 thanks to which the terminal is fit for dynamic industrial conditions and does not affect the reliable work of the electric equipment.
The EL6070-1533 is provided with EtherCAT which makes a transfer of license information easy, secure and accurate. This capability is important in those operations that need real time processing of data and also in passing of data to other elements within a system. Moreover, the EL6070-1533 can be installed in any position, although it meets the IP20 protection level. It also means that it is dust tight to IP67 standards and protected against the ingress of solid objects greater than 12.5mm, therefore it can be used in different industries where such factors are a concern.
In general it can be concluded that the Beckhoff EL6070-1533 terminal can be recommended for using in complex systems of industrial automation. It is designed to be very light, support a wide temperature range, meet vibration and protection standards, and consume very little power as to offer flexibility and reliability to different applications which are factors for getting to the next level of smart automation.
