EL6070-1814 by Beckhoff

The EL6070-1814, manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the EL EtherCAT Terminals series, is engineered for applications that require the precise transmission of license information over EtherCAT networks. This terminal boasts a typical current consumption on the E-bus of 120 mA and is designed to operate effectively within an operating temperature range of -25 to +60°C. Its compact design and DIN rail installation capability make it ideal for integrating into industrial control cabinets, where space optimization and robust performance are essential.

The terminal is detailed with thoughtfully selected technical specifications to ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. With dimensions of 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm and a current load power contact limit of Imax: 10 A, the unit provides a balance of efficiency and durability. The adherence to EMC standards with conformity to EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 further reinforces its suitability for environments where signal integrity and minimal electromagnetic interference are mandatory. In addition, the terminal features a secure installation on a 35 mm DIN rail based on EN 60715 standards with a locking mechanism for added stability.

Enhanced for rugged industrial use, this terminal features a polycarbonate housing that contributes to its durability and resistance to environmental challenges such as vibration and shock in accordance with EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27. The IP20 rating ensures that the terminal is protected against solid contaminants in typical usage scenarios, while its lightweight design at approximately 50 g allows for streamlined integration into existing control systems. With its clear display of operational status via LEDs and support for license information transmission, the terminal not only meets technical standards but also provides practical benefits in industrial automation where reliability and efficiency are highly valued.
