Beckhoff EL6731-0010 EtherCAT Terminal communication interface

Beckhoff EL6731-0010 EtherCAT Terminal communication interface

The PROFIBUS master terminal EL6731 supports the PROFIBUS protocol with all its features. Within an EtherCAT Terminal network, it enables the integration of any PROFIBUS devices. Thanks to the PROFIBUS chip developed in-house, the terminal is equipped with the latest version of the PROFIBUS technology – including high-precision isochronous mode for axis control and expanded diagnostic options. The EL6731 supports different poll rates for the PROFIBUS slaves.

Cycle times from 200 μs are possible.

PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS DP-V1, PROFIBUS DP-V2

master or slave up to 12 Mbit/s

powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces

The error management for each bus user is freely configurable.

It is possible to read the bus configuration and automatically assign the “GSD” files.
