Product Description:
The EL6224 EL EtherCAT terminal from Beckhoff enables communication for four IO-Link devices via its 3-wire interface which satisfies the requirements of IO-Link V1.1 specification. It supports a data transfer range from 4.8 kbaud up to 38.4 kbaud and 230.4 kbaud with a 20 m cable limit on the IO-Link master-to-device signal.
The EL6224 EtherCAT terminal draws not more than 500 mA of current from 24 V DC field voltage which is delivered through power contacts via the use of E-bus and the normal E-bus current usage amounts to 120 mA. It provides electrical insulation of 500 V which separates the E-bus from signal voltage to defend against potential damage. Each channel of the EL62 terminal can be parameterized independently through the configuration process using TwinCAT software. It comes with HD housing design that provides 16 connection points together with built-in signal LEDs. Solid conductors can be wired directly while fine-stranded wires and ferrules need spring-operated connections. The supported sizes of conductors extend from 0.08 to 1.5 mm² for solid wires as well as from 0.25 to 1.5 mm² for stranded wires while ferrules operate within the range of 0.14 to 0.75 mm². The EL62 EtherCAT terminal serves as a DIN rail-mountable component with dimensions of 12 mm by 100 mm by 68 mm and possesses a weight of about 60 g.
The EL6224 EtherCAT terminal provides IP20 protection levels and can be installed in various positions. It upholds both EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 while functioning between -25 to +60 °C but accepts storage conditions that reach -40 °C. The EL62 terminal withstand relative humidity reaching 95% without condensation nearby and achieves a minimum MTBF of 1.2 million hours.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL6224:
Q: How does the 500V electrical insulation in the EL6224 protect against electrical interference?
A: The 500V electrical insulation in the EL6224 isolates the E-bus from the signal circuits, preventing electrical faults or noise from affecting signal integrity and ensuring safe communication even in electrically noisy environments.
Q: How does the 4.8 kbaud to 230.4 kbaud data transfer range in the EL6224 improve device communication?
A: The wide data transfer range of 4.8 kbaud to 230.4 kbaud in the EL6224 allows compatibility with diverse IO-Link devices, offering the flexibility to optimize communication speed based on application requirements, from slower sensors to high-performance actuators.
Q: Why is the 120mA E-bus current important for the EL6224's power management?
A: The 120mA current draw from the E-bus ensures efficient, low-power operation while maintaining stable communication and reliable operation of the IO-Link devices connected to the EL6224, reducing overall system power consumption.
Q: How does the EMC compliance of the EL6224 influence system stability?
A: he EL6224 adheres to EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4, ensuring immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources and reducing the risk of communication errors or device malfunction in electromagnetically noisy environments.
Q: How does the use of TwinCAT software for parameterization benefit system configuration?
A: TwinCAT software offers advanced parameterization capabilities for the EL6224, allowing precise configuration of each channel's I/O settings and communication parameters, which improves system flexibility and enhances process optimization in complex automation setups.
