Beckhoff Automation LLC EL6692 | EtherCAT Terminal, communication interface, EtherCAT bridge

The EtherCAT bridge terminal EL6692 enables real-time data exchange between EtherCAT strands with different masters. It also enables synchronization of the distributed clocks of the individual strands. The power supply on the primary side (E-bus) comes from the E-bus, on the secondary side (RJ45) via an external connection. If several EL6692 are used, data traffic to the terminals on the other side can continue in the event of a power supply failure on one side. The bridge terminal can also be used for integrating a subordinate PC system as an EtherCAT slave. The data exchange between EtherCAT networks can be implemented with Beckhoff components in a wide variety of ways in order to cover diverse system requirements. Therefore, the possibilities should also be checked with the "similar products" listed below, the FCxxxx fieldbus cards or the B110 interface on various CX Embedded PCs.
