Product Description

Beckhoff’s EL6070-1706B terminal facilitates secure and convenient management of software licenses or feature unlocks directly within an EtherCAT network. It allows users to activate specific functions or software capabilities without needing external licensing mechanisms. This helps to improve efficiency and simplify the integration process for automation systems. This terminal is built to offer adaptability to a wide range of operating conditions. It offers shock and vibration resistance ensuring that it can perform consistently in tough conditions. The unit’s performance also remains stable in both very hot and very cold environments, tolerating operating temperatures between -25°C to +60°C.

The design of the terminal is versatile, allowing different installation methods depending on specific user requirements. It can be mounted side by side with other terminals via a double slot and key connection. In control cabinets and industrial panels where integration of multiple components is required, the terminal can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail, ensuring efficient use of space. The terminal weighs approximately 50 grams and measures 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm so it is easy to handle and install even in conditions where space is limited. The housing of the terminal is made out of polycarbonate for enhanced longevity and reliability.

The Beckhoff EL6070-1706 carries various international approvals and markings, including CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, and cFMus. These certifications ensure that the terminal meets stringent safety, environmental, and performance standards, making it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications, including hazardous environments. It features EMC immunity and emission standards that conform to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. These standards ensure the device operates reliably in environments with electrical interference while minimizing its own electromagnetic emissions.
