It can operate in diverse environments in temperature ranges between -25 and +60 degrees Celsius (storage temperature needs to fall between -40 and +85 degrees Celsius). Power is supplied via E-bus for its operation and the terminal weighs approximately 55 g. In addition to having high immunity to EMC, the system has a high shock and vibration resistance. The vibration resistance standard conforms to international standards that are used to gauge a system's sensitivity to shock and vibration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe terminal uses a D-sub technology and has absolutely no line impedance. The system's design also protects it against penetration of solid objects up to 12 mm. In order to make the configuration process easy, no address setting is required at the beginning. The EL6002's E-Bus consumes only 170 mA current. If you want to use the Virtual Serial COM Driver, then a license is available as an additional feature. By using the EL6002, the user can connect devices with up to two RS232 interfaces. Overall, the EL6002 proves to be a feature-laden platform that can be used in conjunction with a variety of interfaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeckhoff\u003c\/strong\u003e Automation is a German manufacturer of open automation systems, including industrial PCs, I\/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software, and hardware for machine vision.
