Product Description:
The EL6851 functions as an EtherCAT terminal which integrates directly into distributed I/O networks. It communicates over EtherCAT interface which preserves direct and live data exchange without overhead. The module supplies 24 V DC output voltage and is compatible with standard industrial control voltages. It also delivers 0.5 A output current per channel in order to support moderate loads reliably. This Beckhoff’s product provides 8 outputs and that enables control of multiple devices from a single module. It uses spring-force connections to ensure tool-free wiring and stable contact.
This terminal type draws typically 130 mA from the E-bus which minimizes upstream power demands. It switches resistive, inductive and lamp loads for covering a broad range of actuator types. The component can detect short-circuits and overloads, preventing damage and speeds diagnostics. It isolates channels to bus and channel to channel at 500 V which prevents ground-loop and cross-channel interference. The variant operates from 0 °C to 55 °C ambient temperature which suits standard factory climates. It mounts on DIN rails which streamlines panel installation.
This EtherCAT module takes 12 mm × 100 mm × 68 mm space which conserves cabinet space. Its mass is approximately 70 g and that reduces DIN-rail loading. The controller can bear up to 95% relative humidity without condensation which suits moist environments. It allows storage temperatures from –40 °C to +85 °C to protect modules during shipping and downtime. Moreover, it meets EMC immunity and emission standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4, guaranteeing a reliable industrial operation in any noisy electromagnetic fields. This top-notch EL6851 balances compact form and robust protection for dependable fieldbus coupling.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL6851:
Q: What benefit does spring-force connection provide in EL6851?
A: The module’s spring-force terminals secure wires without tools which speeds installation. Further, it maintains contact under vibration without screw tightening.
Q: How does EL6851’s isolation protect the system?
A: The module isolates channels to bus and channel-to-channel at 500 V which prevents ground-loop currents. It safeguards neighboring channels from fault propagation.
Q: What is the significance of 0.5 A per-channel rating in it?
A: The EL6851’s 0.5 A output supports moderate-power actuators without external relays.
Q: How does this EtherCAT terminal module detect output faults?
A: The EL6851 provides short-circuit and overload detection which isolates defective outputs instantly. It minimizes troubleshooting time by pinpointing faulty channels.
Q: What mounting method suits Beckhoff’s EL6851 variant?
A: The module clips onto standard DIN rails which accelerates field installation. It aligns modules precisely without extra hardware.
