Product Description P/N: EL6695
Description
The Beckhoff EL6695 is an EtherCAT bridge terminal designed to enable real-time data exchange between two independent EtherCAT networks. It supports high-throughput communication, flexible CoE configuration, and distributed clock synchronization. With an RJ45 interface and E-bus-powered primary side, it provides reliable bridging for multi-master automation architectures.

Information About EL6695
The EL6695 belongs to the Beckhoff EL6xxx communication terminal family and is engineered to link EtherCAT terminal strands controlled by different masters. Its design includes enhanced data throughput, device emulation options, and asynchronous communication support via AoE, FoE, EoE, and NPI protocols. The module mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail and is housed in a compact polycarbonate enclosure with diagnostic LEDs for system status. Typical applications include multi-controller synchronization, linking distributed EtherCAT segments, integrating subordinate PC systems as EtherCAT slaves, and enabling advanced real-time communication in modular automation systems.
Key Features:
- EtherCAT bridging: Enables real-time communication between separate EtherCAT networks.
- High data throughput: Improved performance over earlier bridge terminal models.
- Flexible CoE configuration: Allows adaptable communication settings for complex systems.
- Distributed clock sync: Supports precise synchronization in both communication directions.
- Asynchronous communication options: AoE, FoE, EoE, and NPI supported.
- Dual-side power handling: Primary side via E-bus; secondary side powered externally.
- DIN-rail mount design: Compact 24 mm width for efficient control cabinet installation.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Provide operational and communication status feedback.
The EL6695 delivers the reliability and precision required for synchronized real-time communication across multi-master EtherCAT systems.
