Information About EL6631

The EL6631 PROFINET RT controller (master) terminal supports the complete real-time function (RT) as well as extensive diagnostic possibilities. All services in accordance with Conformance Class B are supported. Up to 15 PROFINET RT devices can be projected on the EL6631.

The EL6631-0010 PROFINET RT device (slave) terminal enables simple exchange of data between EtherCAT and PROFINET RT. It is a device in the EtherCAT strand, which can consist of up to 65,535 devices. The EL6631-0010 has a 3-port switch. Two ports are fed to the outside on RJ45 sockets. This allows the I/O stations to be structured as a line topology, as a result of which the wiring is simplified. The maximum distance between two devices is 100 m.

Protocols such as LLDP or SNMP can be used for network diagnosis.

The EL6631 is a Beckhoff PROFINET controller supplement that converts a Beckhoff PC-based control system into a PROFINET IO controller. The supplement is compatible with both PCs and Embedded PCs. To activate the controller supplement, an Ethernet card with an Intel chipset and a TwinCAT Ethernet driver, are required. The EL6631 has two ports/channels, features status LEDs for hardware diagnostics, and receives its input power via the E-bus. To be able to deliver time-sensitive functionalities, the EL6631 has a minimum real-time cycle of 1.0 milliseconds and 1 kilobyte maximum for input and output data.

The Beckhoff EL6631 supports mounting on a 35 mm rail in a housing with traction lever unlocking. This device has received CE, ATEX, and cULus approvals. When mounting and or wiring the EL6631, care should be taken to prevent damage emanating from electrostatic discharge. This can be done by avoiding touching the contacts directly, grounding the packaging, and proper termination of operation.
