PROFINET EL6631-0010 - Introduction

The EL6631-0010 PROFINET IO Device (Slave) Terminal enables simple exchange of data between EtherCAT and PROFINET IO. It is a device in the EtherCAT strand, which can consist of up to 65,535 devices. The EL6631-0010 has a 3-port switch. Two ports are fed to the outside on RJ-45 sockets. This allows the I/O stations to be structured as a line topology, as a result of which the wiring is simplified. The maximum distance between two devices is 100 m.

Protocols such as LLDP or SNMP can be used for network diagnostics.
