EJ6224-0090 by Beckhoff

The EJ6224-0090 from Beckhoff is part of the EJ EtherCAT Plugins series and represents a highly specialized module engineered for establishing point-to-point connections in industrial automation systems. This device utilizes a 3-wire connection method and integrates 4 IO-Link interfaces to deliver reliable and efficient communication between the IO-Link master and connected devices. Designed for streamlined integration, it supports data transfer rates of 4.8 kbaud, 38.4 kbaud and 230.4 kbaud, ensuring versatile performance in varying automation scenarios.

Engineered with precision, this module features a maximum cable length of 20 m and a typical current consumption of 110 mA from the E-bus, which aids in maintaining a stable power profile. The technical specifications include conformance to EMC standards EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 and vibration/shock resistance as per EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27, underscoring its reliability in demanding environments. The supply voltage, noted as 24 V DC via both the E-bus and distribution board, assures compatibility with standard automation power systems while supporting a safe and consistent operation.

Additional features further enhance its industrial appeal; the module supports TwinSAFE SC and includes an IO-Link configuration tool integrated into TwinCAT for features such as sensor scanning and parameter handling. Operation within an ambient temperature range of -25 to +60°C and a lightweight design of approximately 30 g makes it exceptionally suited for modern, space-sensitive applications. The protection rating of IP20 ensures adequate safeguarding against environmental factors, while the overall design promotes ease of installation and long-term durability in automation networks, delivering significant benefits for reliable process control and system management.
