2 For your safety
Read this chapter containing general safety information. In addition, always observe the safety instructions
and warnings in these operating instructions for your own safety, the safety of other persons and the safety
of the product.
When working with control and automation products, many dangers can result from careless or incorrect use.
Work particularly thoroughly, not under time pressure and responsibly towards other people.
2.1 Duty of care
Read entire documentation for TwinSAFE component
• TwinSAFE application manual
• EL6910 TwinSAFE logic terminal operating manual
• TwinSAFE Logic FB documentation manual
The operator must comply with all the requirements and notes specified in these operating instructions in
order to fulfill his duty of care. This includes in particular that you
• comply with the provisions defined in the chapter Limitation of liability [}6].
• only operate the TwinSAFE component when it is in perfect working order.
• provide the operating instructions in a legible condition and complete at the place of use of the
TwinSAFE component.
• do not remove the safety markings attached to the TwinSAFE component and maintain their legibility.
No disposal in domestic waste
Products marked with a crossed-out waste bin must not be disposed of with domestic
waste. The device is considered waste electrical and electronic equipment when it is
disposed of. Observe the national regulations for the disposal of waste electrical and
electronic equipment.

For your safety
EL9930 11Version: 2.0.0
2.2 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.
Read and observe the operating instructions
Commissioning is only permitted if the operating instructions have been read and understood
beforehand. This applies in particular to the safety instructions and warnings.
Electrostatic sensitive components
Work with and on the TwinSAFE component is only permitted in protected workplaces.

For your safety
EL993012 Version: 2.0.0
2.3 General safety instructions
2.3.1 Before operation
Use in machines according to the Machinery Directive
Only use the TwinSAFE component in machines that comply with the Machinery Directive. This is how you
ensure safe operation.
Ensure traceability
Ensure the traceability of the TwinSAFE component via the serial number.
Use SELV/PELV power supply
Use a SELV/PELV power supply unit with an output-side voltage limit of Umax = 36VDC to supply the
TwinSAFE component with 24VDC.
Failure to observe this will endanger the safety function of the product. Depending on the machine, death
and danger to life, serious physical injury and damage to the machine may result.
Carry out commissioning test
Before commissioning, wiring faults to the sensors must be excluded. Before commissioning, carry out a
commissioning test. After a successful commissioning test, you can use the TwinSAFE component for the
intended safety-related task.
In case of wiring errors, the safety function of the product is at risk. Depending on the machine, death and
danger to life, serious bodily injury and damage to the machine may result.
2.3.2 In operation
Interference due to emitted interference
Do not operate the following devices in the vicinity of the TwinSAFE component: for example, radio
telephones, radios, transmitters or high-frequency systems.
TwinSAFE components comply with the requirements of the applicable electromagnetic compatibility
standards with regard to interference emission and immunity. If you exceed the limits for emitted interference
specified in the standards, the function of the TwinSAFE component may be impaired.
2.3.3 After operation
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].

3 Product description
3.1 EL9930 - PROFIsafe segment end terminal
The EL9930 EtherCAT Terminal is a standard EtherCAT Terminal. The terminal is required in order to
implement permissible PROFIsafe master and slave configurations together with a TwinSAFE Logic
component that supports this function. This is currently the EL6910 TwinSAFE Logic terminal, for example,
which supports the PROFIsafe master and PROFIsafe slave function.
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.

4 Operation
4.1 Installation
4.1.1 Safety instructions
Before installing and commissioning the EL components, please read the safety instructions in the foreword
of this documentation.
4.1.2 Instructions for ESD protection
NOTE
Devices can be destroyed by electrostatic charging!
The devices contain electrostatically sensitive components which can be damaged by
improper handling.
• Please ensure you are electrostatically discharged when handling the components; also
avoid touching the spring contacts directly (see illustration).
• Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibers, plastic films etc.)
• When handling the components, ensure good grounding of the environment (workplace,
packaging and persons)
• 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.

Operation
EL9930 19Version: 2.0.0
CAUTION
Note the specified environmental conditions
Please ensure that the EL components are only transported and stored under the specified environmental
conditions (see technical data).
4.1.4 Mechanical installation
WARNING
Risk of injury!
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). The terminals are ventilated from below,
which enables optimum cooling of the electronics through convection. The direction indication “down”
corresponds to the direction of positive acceleration due to gravity.
Fig.6: Installation position and minimum distances
In order to ensure optimum convection cooling, the distances to neighboring devices and to control cabinet
walls must not be smaller than those shown in the diagram.

Operation
EL993020 Version: 2.0.0
4.1.4.3 Installation on mounting rails
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage of device!
Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or
wiring of the bus terminals!
Assembly
Fig.7: Attaching on mounting rail
The bus coupler and bus terminals are attached to commercially available 35mm mounting rails (DIN rails
according to EN60715) by applying slight pressure:
1. First attach the fieldbus coupler to the mounting rail.
2. The bus terminals are now attached on the right-hand side of the fieldbus coupler. Join the
components with tongue and groove and push the terminals against the mounting rail, until the lock
clicks onto the mounting rail.
If the terminals are clipped onto the mounting rail first and then pushed together without tongue and
groove, the connection will not be operational! When correctly assembled, no significant gap should
be visible between the housings.
Fixing of mounting rails
The locking mechanism of the terminals and couplers extends to the profile of the mounting rail. At
the installation, the locking mechanism of the components must not come into conflict with the fixing
bolts of the mounting rail. 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).
