EL6070-1296
by Beckhoff
The EL6070-1296 EtherCAT terminal by Beckhoff belongs to the EL EtherCAT Terminals series and serves as a dedicated license key terminal for secure license management within EtherCAT networks. Boasting a typical E-bus current consumption of 120 mA and an operating temperature range of -25 to +60 °C, this compact unit delivers reliable performance in varied environments. Designed with IP20 protection, the terminal withstands ingress of solid particles, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in industrial automation applications.
Constructed from durable polycarbonate, the EL6070-1296 features built-in signal LEDs that provide immediate visual feedback on operational status and troubleshooting. It conforms to stringent EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2 immunity and EN 61000-6-4 emission) and meets vibration and shock resistance requirements per EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27. The compact housing measures 12 x 100 x 68 mm (W x H x D) and weighs approximately 50 g, offering a low-profile solution without sacrificing robustness. License info is transmitted via EtherCAT, enabling seamless integration of software authorizations within the network.
Installation is simplified via standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting or side-by-side double slot and key connection, supporting variable orientation for maximum flexibility. The terminal withstands storage temperatures from -40 to +85 °C and supports a maximum power contact current load of Imax 10 A. It carries multiple international approvals including CE, UL, ATEX (II 3 G Ex ec IIC T4 Gc), IECEx (Ex ec IIC T4 Gc), and cFMus (Class I Div 2, Groups A–D; Zone 2 AEx ec IIC T4 Gc). Industrial users benefit from enhanced security, compact design, and compliance with industry standards, making the EL6070-1296 an ideal choice for high-reliability automation systems.
