The Beckhoff module EL9410 is a power supply module for use in EtherCAT systems. It is a compact device designed to provide power to EtherCAT devices, such as control systems and actuators.
The EL9410 power supply terminal is used to refresh the E-bus. Data is exchanged between the coupler and the EtherCAT Terminal over the E-bus. Eachterminal draws a certain amount of current from the E-bus (see“current consumption E-bus” in the technical data). This current is fed into the E-bus by the relevant coupler’s power supply unit. In configurations with a large number of terminals it is possible to use the EL9410 in order to supply an extra2 A to the E-bus. The EL9410 has a diagnostic function which is displayed by LED and on the process image
