Beckhoff EL6001 EtherCAT RS232 Serial Communication Terminal

$0.00

Beckhoff EL6001 is a single-channel EtherCAT serial communication terminal that adds an electrically isolated RS232 interface to a Beckhoff EtherCAT I/O station. It allows legacy serial devices to communicate through the EtherCAT system without requiring a separate external serial gateway.

This page is for the exact manufacturer reference EL6001. Corwin Solutions uses exact model-level listings because industrial products within the same family can look nearly identical while differing in electrical ratings, communications, firmware, safety functions, signal type, mechanical fit, or required accessories.

Key product details

  • Manufacturer: Beckhoff
  • Model: EL6001
  • Product type: EtherCAT serial communication terminal
  • Interface: RS232
  • Transfer mode: Full duplex
  • Baud rate: Up to 115.2 kbaud
  • Receive buffer: 864 bytes
  • Transmit buffer: 128 bytes; later firmware supports larger buffer
  • Cable length: Up to 15 m
  • Electrical isolation: 500 V between E-bus and RS232
  • Supply: Via E-bus
  • Typical E-bus current: 120 mA
  • Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail EtherCAT station
  • Product status: Regular delivery

Common applications Common uses include barcode scanners, legacy controllers, printers, scales, serial drives, laboratory instruments, operator devices, test equipment, and OEM devices that still communicate through RS232.

Compatibility and ordering note: Confirm that the installed device truly uses RS232 rather than RS422/RS485, plus baud rate, parity, stop bits, cable length, terminal wiring, TwinCAT configuration, virtual COM requirements, and EtherCAT station mapping. The EL6021 is a different electrical interface and is not a drop-in substitute.

Why this part is commonly sourced: Purchasing and maintenance teams may need the exact model to restore a failed production asset, preserve a validated or standardized platform, build strategic spare inventory, complete an OEM BOM, or avoid engineering changes during a time-sensitive repair.

Need EL6001? Send Corwin Solutions the required quantity, preferred condition, ship-to destination, and delivery deadline. For replacement requests, include a clear nameplate photo plus any known series, firmware, network, motor, sensor, terminal, safety, or option information. Availability, condition, exact configuration, lifecycle status, and lead time are confirmed at quotation.
