EL6224-0090 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-channel communication interface, IO-Link, master, TwinSAFE SC

The EL6224 IO-Link terminal enables the connection of up to four IO-Link devices. These can be actuators, sensors or a combination of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device. The terminal is parameterized via the EtherCAT master.

The EL6224-0090 also supports TwinSAFE SC (TwinSAFE Single Channel). This enables the use of standard signals for safety tasks in any networks of fieldbuses.

IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, wherein parameterization information can be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection. Parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can be carried out from TwinCAT via ADS or very conveniently via the integrated IO-Link commissioning tool.

In the standard setting, the EL6224-0090 functions as a 4-channel input terminal, 24 V DC, which communicates if necessary with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them and, if necessary, changes their operation mode. Thanks to the integration in the HD housing with 16 connection points, each IO-Link device can be operated in 3-wire mode.

Additional 24 V and 0 V connection points can be realized via the EL918x potential distribution terminal.
