Information About EL6601
The Beckhoff EL6601 is a compact EtherCAT Terminal designed to integrate Ethernet-capable devices into an EtherCAT I/O system. Its single-port Ethernet switch operates transparently, allowing standard Ethernet frames to pass through without modification while maintaining collision-free communication. Supporting 10/100 Mbit/s with automatic negotiation, the terminal adapts to the connected Ethernet device without requiring configuration. The EL6601 is powered through the EtherCAT E-bus and provides 500 V electrical isolation between EtherCAT and Ethernet sides, enhancing communication reliability. With built-in status LEDs, support for RT Ethernet functionality, and publisher/subscriber communication models, the terminal is well suited for decentralized, flexible network architectures in industrial automation.
Key Features
- Transparent Ethernet Connectivity: allows Ethernet devices to communicate directly within EtherCAT networks without protocol restrictions.
- Auto-Negotiating Ethernet Port: supports 10/100 Mbit/s operation in both half and full duplex modes for flexible device integration.
- Configuration-Free Operation: functions immediately upon installation without requiring parameterization.
- Industrial-Grade Isolation: 500 V isolation between the E-bus and Ethernet port enhances system reliability.
- Broad Protocol Support: compatible with all IEEE 802.3 Ethernet-based protocols, including real-time Ethernet variants.
- Diagnostic Status LEDs: provide quick visual feedback on communication and device status.
- Long Cable Distance Support: enables Ethernet connections up to 100 meters using standard twisted-pair cabling.
- Rugged Design for Automation: supports harsh environments with a –25 to +60 °C operating range and high humidity tolerance.
The EL6601 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized Ethernet integration, flexible network expansion, and seamless communication within EtherCAT automation systems.
