The EL1262-0010 is a universal, high-performance oversampling terminal for input and output signals. It contains two input and two output channels that can all be operated simultaneously at up to 10 Mbit/s. It can thus resolve binary states with up to 100 ns fineness. Electrically it can read and output differential RS422 (full duplex), RS485 (half duplex) as well as 5 V single-ended. Termination and bias are electronically switchable for serial operation. This makes it suitable for the most demanding high-speed applications, e.g. laser control or the emulation and read-along of serial protocols. It thus extends the application range of the previous EL1262/EL2262 with 1 Mbit/s by a factor of 10.
The EL2564 digital output terminal controls LEDs with integrated series resistor via an adjustable (ground-switching) PWM signal. Common anode RGBW LEDs can be controlled with the four channels. But also the operation with four LEDs of the same color is possible with the terminal. The terminal has a flexible input voltage of 5…48 V DC. The output voltage corresponds to the input voltage. For the operation of multicolor LEDs the color portion per channel is adjustable. Thus any color mix can be realized. In addition to the color mixing per channel, the adjustment of the total brightness over all channels is also possible. Another parameter that can be adjusted is the frequency. By setting the frequency in a range of 1…16,000 Hz, stroboscopic effects can be avoided. Furthermore, visible flashes can be realized by the low frequencies.

The ELX2652 output terminal has two relays, each with a changeover contact, which can be used universally to switch intrinsically safe consumers up to 0/20. These could be, for example, solenoid valves, contactors or optical/acoustic signal devices. The ELX2652 features potential-free contacts. The signal state of each individual channel is displayed by an LED. EtherCAT Terminals from the ELX series must always be operated in conjunction with the ELX9560 power feed terminal, which generates an electrically isolated output voltage (24 V EX) from the input voltage (24 V DC) to supply the downstream ELX terminals. If a renewed feed-in should be necessary, the combination of an ELX9410 and an ELX9560 can be used so that further ELX terminals can be connected inline. The ELX terminal segment must be terminated with an ELX9012 or two ELX9410.
The EL3072 and EL3074 analog input terminals are the 10 V/20 mA universal inputs of the 12-bit class. The EL3072 has two single parameterizable inputs. Signals either in the range -10/0…+10 V or in the range -20/0/+4…+20 mA can be processed by each channel. Physically, the voltage and current signals should be connected to different terminal points. Each channel should then be set by the controller/TwinCAT to U or I mode via CoE. The voltage and current inputs are single-ended, which means that one connection point of each channel is connected in the terminal to +24 V or GND. All inputs are digitized with a resolution of 12 bits and transmitted electrically isolated to the higher-level automation device. With a technical measuring range of ±107 % of the nominal range, the terminal also supports commissioning with sensor values in the limit range and the evaluation according to NAMUR NE43.

The EL3172 has two single parameterizable inputs. Signals in the range ±10 V or ±25 mA can be processed by each channel, therefore of course also unipolar 0…10 V or 0/4…20 mA. Each channel should be set by the controller to U or I mode via CoE. The input voltage or current is digitized with a resolution of 16 bits, and is transmitted (electrically isolated) to the higher-level automation device.

Furthermore, there is an option to set the counter value to a specified value or to lock the counter directly via the process data. Alternatively, the EL5162 can be used as an up/down counter. The encoder can be supplied with 24 V directly via the connection points of the terminal.

Irrespective of the signal configuration, all ELM modules have the same technological properties. The ELM3002-0205 with oversampling offers a maximum sampling rate of 50,000 samples per second. The terminal is equipped with 4 mm lab jacks.
The ELM3102-0100 EtherCAT Terminal of the basic series is a version of the ELM3702-0101 that is reduced to voltage and current measurement. It offers the measuring ranges +60 V…-20 mV and ±20 mA at a fast sampling rate of 20 ksps per channel. Due to the galvanic isolation between the channels, it can detect signals that are at different or fluctuating potentials with high accuracy in complex environments.
The ELM3244-0000 and ELM3246-0000 measure resistances very precisely in multiple measuring ranges up to 5 kΩ and are thus suitable e.g. for critical temperature measurements with high requirements. They can output the resistance value directly or transform it locally, depending on the set RTD characteristic (e.g. Pt100/Pt1000), into a temperature that is accurate to < ±0.05 °C, depending on the type. The Beckhoff RTD measurement capability thus ranges from the simple EL320x through the precise EL320x-0010 up to the ELM324x. With a sampling rate of 1 ksps, they are part of the economy line and are suitable for observing comparatively slow processes that nevertheless need to be tracked very precisely.

The ELM370x multifunction terminals have a flexible input circuit that can be set to over 30 different electrical connection types via EtherCAT: from voltage ±60 V to ±20 mV and thus also thermocouple and IEPE, current ±20 mA, resistance measurement 5 kΩ and thus also temperature RTD (Pt100 etc.), measuring bridges and potentiometers, and all of these in turn in 2- to 6-wire connection depending on the type. Thus, most electrical measurement tasks can be solved with only one terminal.
The EtherCAT Terminals from the ELM3xxx series were developed in order to enable the high-quality measurement of common electrical signals in the industrial environment. Flexibly usable measurement modules are especially useful in laboratory and testing technology environments.

The EP4304-1002 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs, two analog outputs and two digital inputs, which can be parameterized individually, so that they either process or generate signals in the ±10 V range. The current signals have 16-bit resolution. The analog channels have a common ground potential with the UP/24 V DC supply. On each M12 there is a digital type 3 input with 10 µs input filter time and an analog input and an analog output. Since the digital input and analog inputs/outputs are arranged together on one M12 each, complex terminal devices can be controlled with a single connection cable. This saves additional costs, cable channels and installation work.

Maximum rated current, acceleration or deceleration ramps and various other parameters can be configured and allow for a wide range of adaptations to different applications. The control of the motors is sensorless. The EtherCAT Box with IP 67 protection rating measures only 174 mm x 60 mm x 36.5 mm and can be easily mounted in standard C-channel or L-brackets on the conveyor frame. It requires no additional protective covering. Power supply and EtherCAT communication are realized via a B23 ENP connector with a current carrying capacity of 28 A/45 °C.

The eight outputs are executed as M12 sockets with L-coding according to EN 61076; the EP9208-1035 is thus suitable for carrying currents up to 16 A at 24 V DC/48 V DC on each of two channels per socket. The sockets and the supply each have an LED to display the channels. The input and outputs of the EP9208-1035 are connected directly with no intermediately connected electronics.

The EJ1254 digital input module acquires the fast binary 24 V control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The EtherCAT plug-in module has four channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The signals are furnished with a time stamp that identifies the time of the last edge change with a resolution of 1 ns. With this XFC technology, signal characteristics can be traced exactly in time and correlated with the distributed clocks system-wide. With this technology, machine-wide parallel hardware wiring of digital inputs or encoder signals for synchronization purposes is often no longer required.
The EJ2262 digital output module connects the binary control output signals at the process level with electrical isolation. The outputs are controlled with an adjustable integral multiple (oversampling factor: n) of the bus cycle time (n microcycles per bus cycle). For each microcycle, the EtherCAT plug-in mdoule receives a process data block that is output consecutively. The timebase of the module can be synchronized precisely with other EtherCAT devices via distributed clocks. An output pattern with a significantly higher pulse sequence than the bus cycle time is thus output precisely with the system-wide timebase. This procedure enables the temporal resolution of the digital output signals to be increased to n times the bus cycle time. The maximum output rate is 1 Msamples/s.
The EJ2522 incremental encoder simulation module (pulse train) outputs a frequency-modulable signal on two channels with four outputs. The signal can be used to control motor drivers or other signal receivers, which are controlled by single cycles. The pulse sequence and pulse number can be specified directly via the process data in the frequency. Alternatively, the integrated path control can be used. For each channel the operating mode (frequency modulation, pulse/direction specification and incremental encoder simulation) can be selected. In addition, the EtherCAT plug-in module can control three output channels in the ABC encoder simulation.

In 2-channel mode, one 24 V digital input per channel is available for storing, blocking and setting the counter status; in 1-channel operation, both inputs can be used. It is also possible to set the counter to a predefined value or to lock the counter directly through the process data. The 5 V, 12 V or 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the module connection points.

The output stage is overload-proof. If direction reversal is not required, up to eight motors can be operated unidirectionally on the EJ7334-0008.
The EtherCAT-capable CU1521-0020 for Industrial Fast Ethernet/100 Mbit/s is a universal media converter that can be fitted with various SFP/SFP+ modules due to its SFP slot. The use of EtherCAT thus becomes possible via the most diverse transmission paths, depending on which SFP module is used. In order to ensure EtherCAT compatibility, only SFP modules approved by Beckhoff are to be used. The media converter works bidirectionally and collision-free with a constant delay and can be diagnosed as a self-contained EtherCAT device. As opposed to standard media converters, the CU1521-0020 therefore guarantees fast link control and thus a secure termination of the EtherCAT segment even in case of a fault. Since the transmission direction (copper to SFP, SFP to copper) is relevant for the bus, the device can be configured via a switch. "Link Loss Forwarding" can also be set for normal Ethernet operation via this switch.
During the acceleration phase, a motor needs energy supply, whereas during braking a motor can be used as a generator, feeding energy back into the DC-Link, which raises the voltage in the DC-Link. If the voltage exceeds the adjustable threshold value, a braking resistor is activated.
The AT2100 motor modules are elements for building straight XTS line sections with integrated NCT functionality. In combination with electronics mounted on the mover, a power supply and synchronous real-time data communication are available on the mover. This provides the basis for integrating sensors and actuators on the mover. In addition to product transport, active execution of processes is possible directly on the mover – both during mover motion and at standstill.
The AT2102 motor modules largely correspond to the AT2100 motor modules with integrated NCT functionality. In addition, they have a plug connector for the power and communication supply of the motor modules, to which connection cables of variable lengths can be connected. With a length of 250 mm, the motor modules with power supply represent the shortest variant of a power supply line. By adding motor modules without power supply, the power supply line can be extended.
Movers with the product designation AT9014 are elements of the XTS guide rail system from Beckhoff. The mover set-up consists of an aluminum base body, partially sprung plastic rollers and a magnetic plate set. The design is available in 55 mm or 70 mm lengths and is therefore suitable for the smallest possible product spacing, as well as for higher payloads. All variants are available with “mover standard” and “mover 1” magnetic plate sets. In comparison to mover types with the product designation AT9011, this mover is intended for higher mileage. Thanks to a selection of different guide rail designs, the mover is suitable for individual travel paths. The low overall weight of the mover also allows for particularly dynamic travel movements.

The APM4221-0000 XPlanar mover is the second largest mover in the APM4xxx family and is compatible with all tiles of the type APS4xxx. With a payload of up to 1000 g, the mover is ideal for handling small products with a high packing density.
In applications with the linear motors from the AL8000 series, the TE5920 software is used to reduce cogging. Cogging or cogging forces are created by the magnetic attraction between the iron core in the primary section and the permanent magnets in the secondary section. This physical effect leads to an unwanted and uneven “locking-in” of the motor, so that applications with extremely high demands on accuracy and synchronism, such as high-precision milling machines or digital printers, can only be implemented to a limited extent. TE5920 compensates for the cogging forces whereby, in addition to the magnetic attraction, cogging forces of the mechanical construction or energy chains can also be taken into account. This extends the range of applications of AL8000 iron-core linear motors and provides an alternative to ironless linear motors.

Beckhoff offers a solution for machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) that is seamlessly integrated in TwinCAT 3. The TF3820 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server is a high-performance execution module (inference engine) for trained ML and DL models.
TwinCAT 3 CNC Realtime Cycles offers the possibility of running instructions concurrently in the real time of the CNC control. This makes it possible to react to events in the NC program sequence without having to explicitly program the corresponding reaction in the NC program. This includes spindle control, traversing of axes, output of M functions and running of # commands.
TwinCAT 3 OPC UA Pub/Sub extends the OPC UA client/server architecture to include publisher/subscriber communication patterns. The TF6105 TwinCAT 3 OPC UA Pub/Sub provides the necessary implementations of the protocol so that these kinds of communication patterns can be readily integrated into the TwinCAT application. It includes various transport protocols as defined in the corresponding OPC UA specification part (OPC10000-14), e.g. UDP and MQTT.
The TwinCAT 3 Parallel Redundancy Protocol provides a network connection according to IEC 62439-3 that can be used transparently by applications. This can be used both from real time and from operating system applications. The interface is designed with redundancy on the network side in the interests of higher availability overall.
Whether energy generators, consumers or storage systems: the devices in a smart grid must be able to communicate with one another. There are standardized communication protocols for this purpose. The IEC 61850 describes such a communication for protection and control equipment in electrical substations. The communication services and the basic data model are constructed in such a way that they make it possible to go beyond general station automation. This is achieved through industry-specific data models. Specific supplements are available for wind turbines, hydropower plants and other decentralized energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic systems or fuel cells.
