EL6224 - Introduction
IO-Link Terminal
The EL6224 IO-Link terminal enables the connection of up to four IO-Link devices. These can be actuators, sensors or a combination of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device.
The terminal is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, wherein parameterization information can be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection.
The parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can be done from TwinCAT via ADS or via the integrated IO-Link configuration tool.
In the standard setting, the EL6224 functions as a 4-channel input terminal, 24 VDC, which communicates if necessary with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them and, if necessary, changes their mode of operation.
Integration into the HD housing with 16 connection points enables each IO-Link device to be operated in 3-wire connection mode. The direct plug-in technique enables toolless construction.
