EL6900 Product Description
The Beckhoff EL6900 EtherCAT Safety Logic Module is a state-of-the-art communication interface module designed to enhance the safety protocols within industrial automation systems. This compact module operates on a 24 V dc power supply and adheres to the IP20 standard, ensuring protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against water. It is equipped with four diagnostic LEDs that provide immediate visual feedback on the operational status, aiding in quick diagnostics and troubleshooting.
With its slim profile, the EL6900 boasts dimensions of 12 mm in width, 100 mm in height, and 68 mm in depth, allowing for side-by-side installation without taking up excessive space in control cabinets. The module's technical prowess is highlighted by its ability to handle a minimum cycle time of approximately 500 µs and an error reaction time that is less than or equal to the set watchdog times, which can range from a minimum of 2 ms to a maximum of 60,000 ms.
The EL6900's input and output process images are dynamic, adapting according to the TwinSAFE configuration in the TwinCAT System Manager, which provides flexibility in integrating with various safety devices and control systems. The module's current consumption via the E-bus is approximately 188 mA, and it typically dissipates about 1 W of power, making it an energy-efficient choice for modern industrial applications.
Designed for a service life of 20 years, the EL6900 is a reliable component in any safety-oriented control system. It operates within a permissible ambient temperature range, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging industrial environments. The module's robust design conforms to relevant EMC immunity and emission standards, providing assurance of its quality and durability.
In summary, the Beckhoff EL6900 is an essential component for professionals seeking to implement or upgrade their safety systems with a module that offers both reliability and efficiency.
