Product Description

The EL6695-1001 by Beckhoff is suited for real-time data exchange between EtherCAT networks with different masters. This terminal facilitates synchronous data communication and ensures precise coordination in complex automation systems. it is designed to utilize a dual-technology setup for effective communication. On the primary side, it connects to the E-bus, allowing the terminal to transmit and receive data efficiently within the system. On the secondary side, it features two Ethernet ports that operate at 100 Mbit/s and use RJ45 connectors for easy connectivity. These ports enable the terminal to exchange data with other EtherCAT devices, ensuring real-time communication between different masters in the network. The terminal supports a maximum bit width of 3 kbytes in the process image for data transfer in each direction, accommodating complex automation tasks.

The terminal features distributed clocks, allowing for precise synchronization across connected devices. It also offers electrical isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and the secondary side, safeguarding against electrical interference for enhanced reliability. It comes with status LEDs for hardware diagnostics, allowing users to easily monitor the operational state of the terminal. These indicators provide real-time feedback on connectivity and performance for quick identification of any issues during operation. Users can use cables of up to 100 meters when connecting to the secondary ports, providing adaptability to varying setup needs.

The EL6695-1001 terminal carries CE and UL approvals, indicating its adherence to safety and quality standards for electrical equipment. Its small form factor facilitates efficient use of space with measurements of 24 mm in width, 100 mm in height, and 52 mm in depth. Its housing is sealed against solid objects providing robust protection in challenging environments per IP 20 guidelines.
