CODESYS Profibus Slave (for EL6731-0010) SL Article no. 2303000011

CODESYS Profibus Slave (for EL6731-0010) SL is a product that allows end users to integrate a CODESYS compatible controller with EtherCAT into an existing Profibus network.

Product description.

The EL6731-0010 gateway terminal from Beckhoff allows an EtherCAT enabled controller to register itself as a Profibus slave in a Profibus network. For CODESYS compatible controllers to use this functionality, they require the EL6731-0010 Profibus slave gateway. This product allows the integration of the terminal into an EtherCAT tree and the configuration directly from within the CODESYS Development System. End users of CODESYS compatible controllers with EtherCAT are therefore provided with the option for configuring their device as a Profibus slave and integrating it into existing Profibus architectures. Seamless integration provides for project engineering directly from within the CODESYS Development System. A special device description for the EL6731-0010 gateway terminal allows integration into an appropriate EtherCAT fieldbus coupler (example: EK1100) of the CODESYS project according to the physical configuration
