Product Description

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL6692-0000 is a versatile EtherCAT terminal, which improves the data exchange between the nodes in automation systems. It is a member of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series and it has been designed to guarantee efficient data transfer and system integration in industrial settings. As an ideal terminal weighing only 75 grams, it has the following leading-edge technologies suitable for small and big industrial automation applications. It has one E-bus port for connecting to the E-bus system and two RJ45 EtherCAT input/output ports for EtherCAT system integration in flexible and efficient methods. It supports ADS over EtherCAT (AoE), making it useful in areas with distributed control where real time communication is paramount. The terminal also supports 100BASE-TX to the maximum cable length of 100 meters, which offers a great deal for networking applications in large facilities.

Furthermore, as part of the hardware design, the EL6692-0000 has incorporated status LEDs that may be used to check the health of the system at a glance and, in case of a problem, to identify the exact spot to focus on without having to open the hood and spend time with the manual. This terminal uses an estimate external current of 60 mA at 24 V and has an IP20 protection rating to protect it from dust and non-corrosive materials.

Because of this flexibility of the EL6692-0000’s installation positions, it is very applicable for different industrial uses, whether it be in control panels or distributed systems in the field. In general, this terminal is the best option for the automation systems which need effective networking and diagnostics.
