Information About EL6224
The EL6224 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal developed as an IO-Link master for decentralized device communication. It provides four independent point-to-point IO-Link channels, allowing direct connection of sensors and actuators with bidirectional parameter access. The terminal is configured and managed through the EtherCAT master using TwinCAT software or integrated IO-Link configuration tools. It is commonly used in modular automation systems where flexible device parameterization, diagnostics, and compact wiring are required.
Key Features
- Four IO-Link Master Channels: Supports simultaneous operation of up to four IO-Link devices.
- IO-Link V1.1 Compliance: Ensures standardized communication with modern IO-Link sensors and actuators.
- Bidirectional Parameterization: Allows reading and writing of device parameters during operation.
- EtherCAT Integration: Enables high-speed communication and centralized control through the EtherCAT master.
- Per-Channel Configuration: Each channel can be individually parameterized via TwinCAT.
- 24 V DC Device Power Supply: Provides up to 500 mA per channel for connected IO-Link devices.
- Electrical Isolation: Rated at 500 V between E-bus and signal voltage for system protection.
The EL6224 delivers the reliability and precision required for flexible IO-Link device integration in EtherCAT-based industrial automation systems.
