Product Description

The EL6070-0033 is an EtherCAT terminal. It serves as an efficient tool ideal for industrial automation practices. It is made by Beckhoff.

The EL6070-0033 EtherCAT Terminal comes in 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm size which indicates a compact footprint that is easy to install. It draws 120 milli amperes current from the EtherCAT bus which affects overall power budgeting in EtherCAT networks. The module ensures secure and precise physical connection between adjacent terminals which facilitates aligned installation and mechanical stability. The maximum electrical loads that a pass through the power contacts is 10 amperes which is relevant for applications drawing higher loads through the terminal row. Before insulation 8 to 9 mm insulation should be stripped from the wire which ensures proper contact and electrical integrity. The module supports solid, flexible and ferrule conductors which suggests reliable and maintenance free wiring. It does not process I/O data but is used to activate licensed software features or functions in the control system. It is a non standard terminal for the EtherCAT networks which is used solely to store and transmit licensing credentials via the EtherCAT protocol.

The EL EtherCAT terminals series module can be installed on 35 mm DIN rail and conforms to EN 60715 with lock which is a standard mounting method in industrial control cabinets with mechanical locking for secure placement. The module has a space saving construction with visual indication which aids quick diagnostics during operation. It is made up of polycarbonate material which implies a durable, flame retardant plastic housing that offers electrical insulation and mechanical protection. It is an efficient product of the Beckhoff which is widely available all over the wake industrial stores.
