Product Description:

A lightweight EtherCAT terminal built for industrial automation is the Beckhoff EL6022. It weighs roughly 55 grams, and its small size makes it useful for applications with limited space. A broad variety of data transmission speeds, from 300 to 115,200 baud, are supported by the EL6022, giving you versatility when connecting different devices. In industrial environments, where equipment may function at varying communication rates, this versatility is essential. A typical setup for dependable data transmission is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit. A popular and dependable connection technique in industrial applications, the D-sub 9-pin connector is employed by the EL6022. This kind of connector reduces the possibility of signal deterioration and guarantees a secure connection. To reduce signal reflections and guarantee signal integrity, the terminal provides a line impedance of 120 Ω that matches the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.

With twisted pair cabling, the EL6022 can accommodate cable lengths of 1000 meters. By lowering electromagnetic interference, twisted pair wires improve communication dependability even further. The E-bus is intended to power the EL6022, which makes installation easier and wiring less complicated. Additionally, it offers an external supply of 2 x 5 V/20 mA that may power external devices and is generated from the E-bus supply. With an 864-byte receive buffer and a 128-byte transmit buffer, the terminal has a sizable data buffer. Even during times of intense communication activity, these buffers aid in ensuring efficient and seamless data transmission. The E-bus of the EL6022 typically consumes 270 mA of current, which is comparatively low and enhances system efficiency. The EL6022 is designed to endure the harsh conditions seen in industrial settings.

It can operate reliably in a broad variety of settings thanks to its operational temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The terminal's longevity in mechanically stressful conditions is guaranteed by its compliance with EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 requirements for shock and vibration resistance. Additionally, it complies with EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 EMC immunity and emission standards, reducing the possibility that electromagnetic interference would interfere with its or other devices' ability to function. Due to its IP20 protection rating, the EL6022 is protected from liquids but not from solid objects bigger than 12mm, such as fingers. The terminal may be mounted in a control cabinet or enclosure with flexibility thanks to its flexible installation position. Wake Industrial gives consumers additional piece of mind and guarantees the EL6022's quality and dependability with a one-year warranty.
