Information About EL6731

The EL6731 EtherCAT Terminal serves as a 1-channel communication interface designed for PROFIBUS master/slave operations. It facilitates seamless integration of various PROFIBUS devices within an EtherCAT Terminal network, leveraging the capabilities of the PROFIBUS protocol in its entirety. Equipped with an in-house developed PROFIBUS chip, the terminal embodies the latest advancements in PROFIBUS technology, incorporating features such as high-precision isochronous mode for axis control and expanded diagnostic options.

Key features of the EL6731 include the ability to achieve cycle times as low as 200 µs, supporting various PROFIBUS standards including PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS DP-V1, and PROFIBUS DP-V2. It operates as both a master and a slave, with communication speeds reaching up to 12 Mbit/s. The terminal offers powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces, enabling comprehensive monitoring and management of connected devices.

Configurable error management for each bus user enhances system reliability and performance, while the terminal's capability to read bus configurations and automatically assign "GSD" files streamlines setup processes. Comparable to the FC3101 PROFIBUS PCI card, the EL6731 provides connectivity to PROFIBUS networks. However, it offers a more space-saving implementation by eliminating the need for PCI slots in the Industrial PC.
