EL6224 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-channel communication interface, IO-Link, master
From the IO-Link sensor into the cloud
The EL6224 IO-Link terminal enables connection of up to four IO-Link devices, e.g. actuators, sensors or combinations of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device. The terminal is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, allowing parameterization information to be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection. The parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can be done from TwinCAT via ADS or very conveniently via the integrated IO-Link configuration tool.
In the standard setting, the EL6224 functions as a 4-channel input terminal, 24 V DC, which communicates with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them and, if necessary, changes their operating mode.
Integration into the HD housing with 16 connection points enables each IO-Link device to be operated in 3-wire connection mode.
Additional 24 V and 0 V connection points can be realized via the EL918x potential distributor terminal.
