Product Description

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL6001-0000 is a part of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series and has an RS232 communication port to meet the requirements of numerous industrial automation processes in terms of data transmission. The main specifications of the EL6001-0000 include the data transfer rate which is from 2400 to 115200 baud. It has a wide operating range and this makes users to be in a position to choose the most appropriate speed for their use depending on their applications so that the data transmitted can be effective. Besides, the terminal can handle cables up to 15 meters in length, which enables the product to be used in a wide range of configurations without a problem.

The EL6001-0000 has a total mass of approximately 55 grams and is engineered for lightness but strength. It is made of high impact polycarbonate that will afford its outer shell the strength that is required when operating in industrial settings. It also has an integrated IP20 rating which provides only a limited protection from dust and other small debris making it ideal for use in control cabinets and indoors. From the power consumption aspect, the EL6001-0000 consumes a typical operating current of roughly 120mA through the E-bus. This efficient power usage is important to keep energy costs and to provide reliable operation in a larger EtherCAT network.

All in all, the Beckhoff EL6001-0000 EtherCAT terminal is a perfect fit for everybody who cares about the quality of communication in the industrial automation systems. For automation based on its construction it is advantageous in that it is physically hardy while still providing a variable transfer rate to accommodate existing systems.
