Product Description:
The Beckhoff’s EL6224-0090 represents a small EtherCAT IO-Link terminal. It is employed in sectors such as manufacturing, robotics and process control due to its precise device communication and safety integration. The EL6 terminal fits into standard TS35 rails and with an expected MTBF of 1.2 million hours its average annual failure rate is at 0.7%.
The EL6224-0090 IO-Link device operates through four independent channels according to IO-Link V1.1 specification. The channels work through point-to-point connections at three wire configuration levels with selectable option of data transfer rates from 4.8 kbaud up to 230.4 kbaud for bidirectional communication. The EL6224 IO-Link terminal draws power from a 24 V DC field voltage source through power contacts and utilizes 120 mA through the E-bus while providing each IO-Link port with a maximum supply of 500 mA to connected devices. The terminal EL6 establishes 500 V electrical separation between its E-bus section and signal voltage section. It presents connection points through its high-density polycarbonate housing that maintains a size of 70 mm in depth along with 100 mm in height and a width of 15 mm. The EL6224 IO-Link terminal implements a plug-in connection system for solid wire conductors in addition to spring-loaded terminals for fine-stranded wires. The terminal supports connection of solid conductors and stranded conductors with wire cross-sections spanning between 0.08 mm² to 1.5 mm².
The EL6224-0090 IO-Link device operates using TwinCAT firmware as the control center for configuration and parameterization procedures. The application set up for each channel happens directly through TwinCAT software for versatile implementation needs. The EL62 IO-Link terminal offers TwinSAFE SC technology that enables extended standard I/O signals to run safety-related systems. It provides a 20-meter limit for the connection cables running between an IO-Link device and its terminal.
