Product Description

The Beckhoff EL6900-0000-0000 is a specific EtherCAT terminal that is meant for safety applications and is used as a bridge between safe input signals and safe output signals. It is a member of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series and is TwinSAFE allowing for safety over the EtherCAT system’s safety BS6750 functions. This terminal is horizontally mounted and is attached to 35 mm DIN rails compliant with EN 60715.

The current consumption through the E-bus at 188 mA is cost-effective in EL6900-0000. It comes inside a polycarbonate enclosure which is relatively small at just below 50 grams. Further, its size of 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm integration is made easy for fixed control and operations within the control cabinets. Signal LEDs are incorporated when designing the terminal showing the indicators for the status of the system for easy troubleshooting.

The EL6900-0000 is compliant with DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2008 Cat 4 PL e, any separate engineering control and partition will be built based on the pneumatic rail. And other standards EN 61508: 2010 SIL3 making this product applicable in critical safety applications. The fault response time can be positioned on the parameters that can be framed by the watchdog time allowing the system to provide fast and secure error management. The terminal is protected by IP20, making it applicable in controlled environment applications, and is certified for airtight locations with ATEX and IECEx approvals (II 3 G Ex ec IIC T4 Gc). This terminal is designed to operate with a maximum current of 10 A as the withstand rating on its power contacts. It has passed CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx certification which allows it to be safely used in harsh environments.
