Product Description

Lightweight and small, the Beckhoff EL9011-0000 comes with protective elements from the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series. The device weighs only 8g, has a housing width of 5mm, and is intended to secure an E-Bus contact at the terminal block end making it very useful in protecting E-bus contacts and reliable in ensuring the E-bus termination system does not fail.

This terminal has been found to work optimally in environments with temperatures ranging from -25°C to +60°C and can be archived in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C thus it is appropriate for a range of factories. Its attachment to other terminals is done alternatively to EtherCAT terminals with and without power contacts enabling good adaptation to the existing setup. The EL9011-0000 is compatible with many standards and carries the CE, UL, ATEX and IECEx certificates. Another Ex-markings are II 3 G Ex ec IIC T4 Gc for a hazardous environment zone utilization. This certification confirms that the device is intended for use in Zone 2 where there is a potential ignition gas.

The EL9011-0000 acts as a bus end cover, thereby preserving electrical safety by blocking E-bus contacts from dust, moisture or unintentional touch which ensures that the longevity of the terminals is increased and system is reliable. This though appearing as a trivial part of a larger EtherCAT installation makes it easy to keep the system neat, hygienic and maintenance free. The small dimensions and low weight of the EL9011-0000 allow it to be effectively used in every EtherCAT installation, where it provides durability and compliance in various industrial applications.
