EL6751-1005
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff EL6751-1005 is a versatile member of the EL EtherCAT Terminals series, designed to serve as a CANopen master & manager with optional slave functionality. As a one-channel communication interface, it delivers data transfer rates ranging from 10 kbaud to 1000 kbaud, ensuring high-speed performance up to 1000 kbaud for demanding automation tasks. Featuring a 9-pin D-sub (galv. decoupled) interface, this EtherCAT terminal provides a reliable galvanic isolation that protects both the terminal and connected devices. Its primary function is to integrate CANopen fieldbus networks seamlessly into EtherCAT architectures, making it ideal for real-time industrial automation applications.
In-depth technical specifications highlight the EL6751-1005’s robust electrical and mechanical capabilities. It draws a typical E-bus current consumption of 230 mA, complying with EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 to ensure stable operation in electrically noisy environments. The terminal supports RAW-CAN functionality as a special feature, enabling advanced diagnostic and communication modes. Installation is flexible, with variable mounting positions on standard 35 mm DIN rails and a lightweight design of 70 g that simplifies system layout. Resistant to vibration and shock in accordance with EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27, the unit maintains reliable performance under mechanical stress.
Additional features focus on compatibility, durability, and efficiency in industrial settings. The IP20 protection rating safeguards internal components against solid objects, while the operating temperature range of –25 °C to +60 °C and storage range of –40 °C to +85 °C guarantee long-term stability across varying climates. Built-in Status LEDs facilitate quick hardware diagnostics, offering visual feedback for network health and fault identification. Designed for easy integration and low maintenance, this EtherCAT terminal enhances communication efficiency and network reliability. By combining high-speed CANopen connectivity with solid mechanical and environmental resilience, the EL6751-1005 delivers significant benefits for modern industrial automation systems.
