Application and selection
For wind turbine auxiliary systems and wind farm equipment, the EL6224 can bring compatible pressure, flow, temperature or humidity devices into a configured EtherCAT network. Device selection and controller engineering determine the process data and diagnostics available to the application.
Specify a compatible EtherCAT controller or coupler, terminal assembly, field power and suitable IO-Link devices. Confirm each device's IODD, current demand, connection and shielding requirements. The terminal is not a standalone logger, and device integration is not established by an M12 connector alone.
