Information About EL6070
The EL6070 is part of the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal family, developed to extend the functionality of distributed I/O systems. Unlike standard I/O terminals, the EL6070 does not process physical signals but instead provides a secure container for TwinCAT software licenses. It allows engineers to assign software options—such as motion control, advanced PLC libraries, or NC/PTP functionalities—directly to the terminal, making them available on the EtherCAT network. This licensing method eliminates the need for dongles or PC-based license storage, simplifying deployment and hardware independence. Integrated into the EtherCAT system like a standard terminal, the EL6070 ensures reliable operation and seamless recognition in TwinCAT engineering tools.
Key Features:
- Design: EtherCAT license key terminal for TwinCAT software features.
- Functionality: Stores and activates TwinCAT software licenses.
- Integration: Recognized automatically in EtherCAT networks and TwinCAT.
- Flexibility: Supports motion, NC/PTP, and advanced control software options.
- Security: Provides a hardware-based license container, eliminating dongles.
- Installation: Compact DIN rail–mounted terminal, like standard EtherCAT I/O.
- Reliability: Industrial-grade hardware ensures continuous availability of licensed features.
- Application Range: Ideal for machine builders, OEMs, and systems requiring modular software licensing.
The EL6070 delivers a secure, simple, and flexible licensing solution for integrating TwinCAT software features directly into EtherCAT-based automation systems.
