For your safety Safety image signs On Beckhoff products you will find attached or lasered safety pictograms, which vary depending on the product. They serve to serve to ensure safety for people and to prevent damage to the products. Safety pictograms must not be removed and must be legible for the user.
De-energize and switch off components before working on them Check all safety-relevant equipment for functionality before working on the TwinSAFE component. Secure the working environment. Secure the machine or plant against being inadvertently started up. Observe the chapter Decommissioning [} 33]. Version: 2.0.0 EL9930...
Fig. 1: EL9930 EtherCAT Terminal The EL9930 registers itself as two EtherCAT slaves when the I/O configuration is scanned. Once as EL9930-0000 and once as EL9930-0001. Hence, it is possible to set which PROFIsafe data need to be buffered for both data directions.

Product designation EL9930 Number of inputs/outputs Supply voltage (SELV/PELV) 24 V (–15% / +20%) Current consumption via E-bus approx. 120 mA Power dissipation of the terminal typically 1 W...
• Each bus station must be terminated on the right side with the EL9011 or EL9012 end cap to ensure the protection class and ESD protection. Fig. 5: Spring contacts of Beckhoff I/O components 4.1.3 Transport / storage Use the original packaging in which the components were delivered for transporting and storing the EL components.
Bring the bus system into a safe, de-energized state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the devices! 4.1.4.1 Control cabinet / terminal box For operation the EL9930 terminals must be installed in a control cabinet or terminal box with a minimum protection class of IP54 according to IEC 60529. 4.1.4.2 Installation position and minimum distances For the prescribed installation position the mounting rail is installed horizontally and the mating surfaces of the EL/KL terminals point toward the front (see illustration below).
To mount the mounting rails with a height of 7.5 mm under the terminals and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk screws or blind rivets). Version: 2.0.0 EL9930...
The electric connections between the Bus Coupler and the Bus Terminals are automatically realized by joining the components: Spring contacts (E-bus) The six spring contacts of the E-bus deal with the transfer of the data and the supply of the Bus Terminal electronics. EL9930 Version: 2.0.0...

Observe the maximum current that your Bus Coupler can supply to the E-bus! Use the EL9410 Power Supply Terminal if the current consumption of your terminals exceeds the maximum current that your Bus Coupler can feed to the E-bus supply. The EL9930 has no further contacts such as power contacts or PE contacts. 4.1.5.2 Overvoltage protection If protection against overvoltage is necessary in your plant, provide a surge filter for the voltage supply to the Bus Terminal blocks and the TwinSAFE terminals.
Configuration of the terminal in TwinCAT 4.2.1 Configuration requirements Version 3.1 Build 4024 or higher of the TwinCAT automation software is required for configuring the EL9930. The current version is available for download from the Beckhoff website (www.beckhoff.de). TwinCAT support The EL9930 cannot be used under TwinCAT 2.
PROFIsafe segment on account of the functional principle of EtherCAT. The representation EL9930-0001 (secondary) is a virtual node in the I/O configuration (no real component). Both instances must be placed correctly so that the PROFIsafe segment is limited in accordance with the PROFIsafe policy (see illustration below).
Creation of the IO image of the EL9930-000x The configuration of the IO image of the EL9930-000x is done via the configuration of the EL6910 in the I/O tree (underneath the EtherCAT node.) If a PROFIsafe connection has been configured for the EL6910, the device has an extra tab called PROFIsafe, where the support of the EL9930 components must be activated by checking the checkbox Enable EL9930 Support .
Fig. 13: Diagnostic LEDs of the EL9930 The EL9930 has two RUN LEDs. Description RUN1 The left RUN LED indicates the EtherCAT status of the EL9930-0000. RUN2 The right RUN LED indicates the EtherCAT status of the EL9930-0001. LED display EtherCAT status Description INIT / BOOTSTRAP Initialization of the terminal or BOOTSTRAP mode.

- EP13172092.2 Method and system for detection of errors PROFIsafe configurations without EL9930 The use of the EL9930 is not necessary for the following configurations, because the PROFIsafe telegram leaves the E-bus only via PROFIBUS or PROFINET. The PROFIsafe policy is thus not violated.
Fig. 16: Valid PROFIsafe configuration - example 3 PROFIsafe configurations with EL9930 The use of the EL9930 is necessary for the following configurations, because the PROFIsafe telegram would also be transmitted via a fieldbus that is not PROFIBUS or PROFINET. Before leaving the E-bus on EtherCAT, the telegram must be filtered out and copied again into the telegram to the PROFIBUS/ PROFINET master.
TwinCAT IPC with PROFIBUS/PROFINET-EtherCAT Terminal Without the use of the EL9930, the transmission of the PROFIsafe data from the EL6910 to the TwinCAT PC would take place in the following example via the E-bus and EtherCAT. The TwinCAT PC would copy the data in the process image and then send them with the next I/O update via EtherCAT and E-bus to the PROFIBUS/PROFINET master.
If, in the case of a CX controller with a PROFIBUS/PROFINET interface, the E-bus employed is extended by an EK1100 coupler, an EL9930 must be used behind the EL6910 and in front of the EK1100, as otherwise the PROFIsafe telegram would leave the E-bus via EtherCAT.
Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning by the manufacturer only Do not operate the TwinSAFE component if it is impermissibly dirty according to protection class IP20. Send impermissibly dirty TwinSAFE components to the manufacturer for cleaning. TwinSAFE components are basically maintenance-free. Version: 2.0.0 EL9930...
