Information About EL6001
The EL6001 is an EtherCAT Terminal built to provide a dedicated 1-channel RS232 communication interface for industrial automation systems. Operating independently from the higher-level bus system, it ensures stable full-duplex communication at speeds up to 115.2 kbaud. The terminal complies with CCITT V.28/DIN 66 259-1 communication standards, enabling compatibility with a wide range of RS232-based devices. With integrated electrical isolation and robust interference immunity, the EL6001 maintains reliable signal integrity even in environments with high electromagnetic noise.
Key Features
- Full-Duplex RS232 Communication: Enables simultaneous transmission and reception using separate TxD and RxD channels for efficient serial data exchange.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports baud rates from 2400 up to 115,200 baud with default settings of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit.
- Integrated Electrical Isolation: Provides 500 V isolation between the E-bus and signal voltage, protecting sensitive equipment from interference and ensuring stable operation.
- Large Data Buffers: Equipped with an 864-byte receive buffer and 128-byte transmit buffer to handle high-volume and burst-mode data communication.
- Easy Configuration: Requires no address setting; configuration is performed directly through the controller for simplified setup and commissioning.
- Reliable Signal Integrity: Less than 3% bit distortion ensures accurate data transmission over cable lengths up to 15 meters.
The EL6001 delivers the reliability and precision required for stable RS232 communication in demanding automation environments.
