Information About EL6731
The EL6731 is an EtherCAT terminal from Beckhoff providing seamless PROFIBUS connectivity without requiring a PCI slot, making it a compact alternative to the FC3101 PROFIBUS PCI card. It integrates a high-performance Beckhoff-developed PROFIBUS controller supporting PROFIBUS DP, DP-V1, and DP-V2 with baud rates up to 12 Mbaud. Advanced functions include cycle times down to 200 μs, detailed diagnostics, and configurable error handling to ensure strong communication stability. As both a master and slave interface, the terminal simplifies device configuration by reading bus topology and automatically assigning GSD files, making it suitable for complex industrial automation environments.
Key Features:
- 1-channel PROFIBUS interface: Supports master and slave modes for versatile network integration.
- Up to 12 Mbaud communication: High-speed data exchange for demanding applications.
- Beckhoff PROFIBUS chip: Delivers advanced protocol handling and improved diagnostics.
- Galvanic isolation: Ensures signal integrity and electrical protection.
- Cycle times as low as 200 μs: Supports precise, isochronous axis control.
- D-Sub 9-pin interface: Standard PROFIBUS connector for easy field integration.
- Comprehensive diagnostics: Advanced error management and parameter tools.
- Compact EtherCAT form factor: Eliminates the need for PCI slots, saving space in IPC designs.
The EL6731 delivers the reliability and precision required for high-performance fieldbus communication in modern automation systems.
