Beckhoff Automation EL6652 EtherCAT IO Terminal

Beckhoff EL6652 is an EtherCAT terminal that brings an EtherNet/IP interface to the EL5xxx family, acting as an EtherNet/IP Master or Scanner with a switched two-port Ethernet connection. This module enables data exchange between Beckhoff EtherCAT I/O and EtherNet/IP devices, letting TwinCAT-configured systems integrate EtherNet/IP-based equipment without external gateways. The EL6652 is designed for seamless commissioning in EtherCAT networks and supports EtherNet/IP master/slave roles, providing flexible topology for connecting field devices and controllers on separate networks while sharing a common TwinCAT configuration. Its two Ethernet ports support network segmentation and daisy-chaining, delivering a compact, integrated solution for bridging EtherCAT I/O with EtherNet/IP devices in industrial automation applications that require coordinated data flow, status monitoring, and input/output updates across protocols.
