Information About EL6910
The EL6910 is part of the Beckhoff TwinSAFE safety system, developed to enable decentralized and modular safety control. It serves as a dedicated safety logic controller within an EtherCAT terminal block, communicating via FailSafe over EtherCAT (FSoE) with TwinSAFE input and output terminals. The module supports the creation of safety projects in TwinCAT Safety Editor, which are downloaded directly into the terminal. It executes safety functions such as emergency stop, protective door monitoring, two-hand control, and safe speed/position monitoring. The EL6910 provides powerful safety logic processing with flexible interconnection of multiple safety devices and zones while being completely independent of the standard control logic.
Key Features:
- Design: TwinSAFE logic terminal for EtherCAT-based safety systems.
- Functionality: Executes safety logic independently of the main PLC.
- Communication: Uses FailSafe over EtherCAT (FSoE) for deterministic safety data exchange.
- Integration: Configured via TwinCAT Safety Editor and integrated into TwinCAT 3 projects.
- Safety Compliance: Certified up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508) and PL e (ISO 13849-1).
- Diagnostics: Built-in status and error LEDs for quick troubleshooting.
- Scalability: Can manage multiple safety zones and devices within one logic project.
- Application Range: Ideal for machine safety, robotics, and decentralized safety architectures.
The EL6910 delivers the flexibility, safety integrity, and modularity required for implementing advanced safety logic in EtherCAT-based automation systems.
