Information About EL6614
The EL6614 belongs to Beckhoff’s range of EtherCAT communication terminals, designed to extend Ethernet connectivity directly within distributed automation systems. Acting as a 4-port Ethernet switch, it allows the decentralized connection of multiple Ethernet devices—such as controllers, sensors, and operator panels—without requiring additional external switches. The EL6614 operates transparently, relaying Ethernet frames between connected devices and the EtherCAT network using store-and-forward switching. This ensures full-duplex, collision-free data exchange at up to 100 Mbit/s per port. The terminal’s plug-and-play design eliminates configuration requirements, while built-in LEDs provide visual diagnostics of link and activity status. Its compact EtherCAT housing and robust electrical isolation make it highly reliable for integration into industrial automation topologies.
Key Features:
- Decentralized Ethernet Integration: Connects Ethernet devices directly to EtherCAT networks, eliminating external switch requirements.
- Four-Port Switching: Includes four RJ45 ports supporting 10/100 Mbit/s communication for multiple device connections.
- Transparent Communication: Relays Ethernet frames fully transparent and collision-free using store-and-forward switching mode.
- Automatic Data Detection: Supports auto-negotiation of speed and duplex mode (half/full) according to IEEE 802.3u standards.
- Protocol Versatility: Compatible with all Ethernet-based protocols including RT Ethernet, publisher/subscriber, and DHCP/BootP.
- Compact Design: EtherCAT Terminal form factor allows flexible installation at any point within the EtherCAT strand.
- Diagnostics via LEDs: Integrated status LEDs provide visual indication of connection and communication activity.
- Rugged Industrial Build: 500 V electrical isolation and -25°C to +60°C temperature range ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.
The EL6614 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized Ethernet communication in EtherCAT-based industrial automation systems.
