Product Description

The EL6695 is one of the several EtherCAT bridge terminals from Beckhoff Automation. This bridge terminal supports real-time data exchange between several EtherCAT terminal strands using different masters. The accessory features a flexible CoE configuration. It encompasses a reasonably high data throughput and a device emulation option. The unit can be diagnosed with the help of status LEDs. The terminal has a compact polycarbonate housing with a signal LED. The terminal can be mounted on a 35mm C-rail which is in accordance with EN 60175 specifications, with lock. It has a minimum EtherCAT cycle time of 50µs.

The bridge terminal supports a Cage Clamp wiring mechanism with a spring-loaded technique. The accessory has a stripping length ranging between 8mm and 9mm. The power supply for the primary side is received through an E-bus and an external connection for the secondary RJ 45 side. The unit offers assistance for asynchronous communication through AoE, NPI, EoE and FoE among other protocols. The accessory must be stored at temperatures between -25°C and +85°C and operated at temperatures between 0°C and 55°C. Relative humidity should be 95% without condensation. It can be used as an external reference clock in TwinCAT, has flexible PDO mapping and features synchronous data exchange.

Many bridge terminals can be connected side by side using a double slot and key connection. The EMC immunity/emission of this device conforms to EN 61000-6-2 or EN 61000-6-4 specifications. The accessory is equipped with three spring power contacts. It has a maximum current load of 10A and a nominal voltage rating of 24V DC. The unit features standard terminal block marking and distributed clocks. The EtherCAT terminal measures 24mm x 100mm x 52mm (W x H x D) and weighs nearly 75g. The bridge terminal can be shipped to any address worldwide through our logistics partners. The accessory is available with a warranty period of one year.
