2.1 The Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal system
The Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal system is used for decentralized connection of sensors and actuators to a
controller. The components of the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal system are mainly used in industrial
automation and building management systems. As a minimum, a bus station consists of an EtherCAT
Coupler and connected EtherCAT Terminals. The EtherCAT Coupler forms the communication interface to
the higher-level controller, while the EtherCAT Terminals form the interface to the sensors and actuators.
The whole bus station is clipped onto a 35mm DIN mounting rail (EN 60715). The mechanical link of the bus
station is established with a slot and key system on EtherCAT Couplers and EtherCAT Terminals.
The sensors and actuators are connected with the terminals via the screwless (spring-loaded) connection
system.

the terminals via six contacts on the terminals' side walls.
2.1.4 Power contacts
The operating voltage is passed on to following terminals via three power contacts. Terminal strip can be
split into galvanically isolated groups by means of potential supply terminals as required. The supply
terminals play no part in the control of the terminals, and can be inserted at any locations within the terminal
strip.

2.2 TwinSAFE
2.2.1 The I/O construction kit is extended safely
The integrated TwinSAFE safety solution is the logical continuation of the open, PC-based Beckhoff control
philosophy. Due to their modularity and versatility, the TwinSAFE components fit seamlessly into the
Beckhoff control system. The I/O components are available in the formats Bus Terminal, EtherCAT Terminal,
EtherCAT plug-in module and EtherCAT Box.
Thanks to the fieldbus-neutral safety protocol (TwinSAFE/Safety-over-EtherCAT), TwinSAFE devices can be
integrated into any fieldbus system. They are integrated into existing networks with K-bus or EtherCAT and
can be used directly in the machine as IP67 modules. These safety I/Os form the interfaces to the safety-
relevant sensors and actuators.
The possibility to transmit the safety-relevant signals over a standard bus system gives rise to substantial
advantages in terms of planning, installation, operation, maintenance, diagnostics and costs.
The safety application is configured or programmed respectively in the TwinCAT software. This application is
then transferred via the bus to a TwinSAFE logic component. These form the heart of the TwinSAFE system.
All safety devices in the system communicate with this logic component. Due to the enormous flexibility of
the system, several TwinSAFE logic components can also be operated simultaneously in a network.
2.2.2 Safety concept

2.2.3 The fail-safe principle (Fail Stop)
The basic rule for a safety system such as TwinSAFE is that failure of a part, a system component or the
overall system must never lead to a dangerous condition.
CAUTION
Safe state!
The safe state of the TwinSAFE system is always the switched-off and de-energized state.
Product description
EL2912 13Version: 1.0.0
3 Product description
3.1 EL2912 - TwinSAFE terminal with two fail-safe outputs
The EL2912 is a safe output terminal with two fail-safe outputs, each with 2A (24V
DC
).
The EL2912 meets the requirements of the following standards:
EN61508:2010(SIL 3)
EN62061:2005/A2:2015(SILCL3)
ENISO13849-1:2015(Cat.4,PLe).
The TwinSAFE terminal has the typical design of a 12mm EtherCAT Terminal. The outputs use the voltage
of the power contacts. In addition, the voltage of the power contacts is applied to terminal points 2/6 and 3/7.
The terminal points GND1, GND2 and GND U
P
(terminal points 3/7) are directly connected internally.

3.2 Intended use
WARNING
Caution - Risk of injury!
TwinSAFE components may only be used for the purposes described below!
The TwinSAFE Terminals expand the application area of Beckhoff Bus Terminal system with functions that
enable them to be used for machine safety applications. The TwinSAFE Terminals are designed for machine
safety functions and directly associated industrial automation tasks. They are therefore only approved for
applications with a defined fail-safe state. This safe state is the switched-off and de-energized state. Fail-
safety according to the relevant standards is required.
The TwinSAFE I/O components allow the connection of:
24V
DC
sensors such as
emergency stop push-buttons, rope pull switches, position switches, two-hand switches, safety
switching mats, light curtains, light barriers, laser scanners, etc.
24V
DC
actuators such as
contactors, protective door switches with tumbler, signal lamps, servo drives, etc.
Test pulses
When selecting actuators please ensure that the test pulses of the TwinSAFE component do not
lead to switching of the actuator or a diagnostic message of the TwinSAFE component.
The following TwinSAFE components were developed for these tasks:
The EL1904 is an EtherCAT Terminal with 4 digital fail-safe inputs
The EL2904 is an EtherCAT Terminal with 4 digital fail-safe outputs
The EL6910 is an EtherCAT Terminal with integrated TwinSAFE logic
These TwinSAFE components are suitable for operation on the
Beckhoff EKxxxx series Bus Couplers
Beckhoff CXxxxx series Embedded PCs with E-bus connection

Derating table for altitudes above 2000m
The derating table (table 8) from the IEC61131-2:2017 standard can be referred to for the use of the
TwinSAFE components above the specified maximum altitude.
Altitude in m Derating factor for the temperature

3000 0.9
4000 0.8
5000 0.7
Note: Linear interpolation is permissible between the altitudes
1)
Ambient temperature of the device at an altitude of 2000m
2)
The air pressure and air density increase as the altitude decreases. Therefore the derating factor for 0 to
2000 m (1.0) is used for altitudes below sea level.
Calculation example
In the following example the calculation is performed for a TwinSAFE component at an operating altitude of
4000m.
Permissible ambient temperature up to 2000 m above sea level = 55°C
Permissible ambient temperature up to 4000m above sea level = 55°C * 0.8 = 44°C
CAUTION
Compliance with the temperature limits
The TwinSAFE component has a maximum internal temperature at which a switch-off takes place. This is
designed for the maximum permissible ambient temperature. If the derating factor for the temperature for
higher altitudes is used, the user is solely responsible for ensuring that the calculated maximum ambient
temperature is complied with.

3.5 Safe output
The safe outputs are implemented as a single channel per module. It is essential to pay attention to the
following note if two or more outputs run in a common sheathed cable.
DANGER
Clocked signals inside a sheathed cable
If clocked signals from different modules are used inside a single sheathed cable, then a module error such
as a cross-circuit or external power supply must lead to the switch-off of all of these modules. This is
achieved by setting the Module Fault Link active parameter for all modules involved. This parameter is set
to TRUE by default.
3.6 Fuse
Power supply of the power contacts
The safe outputs are supplied from the power contacts. The current carrying capacity of the power contacts
is limited to 10A. The power supply of the power contacts for each potential group must be protected with a
10A fuse.

3.8 Using the integrated TwinSAFE Logic functions
On delivery, the EL2912 behaves like a safe TwinSAFE I/O slave, which can be used as an alias device
within a TwinSAFE Logic, e.g. EL6910.
Alternatively, the local logic function of the EL2912 can be used. To this end please create a TwinSAFE
project in the Safety Editor and select the EL2912 as the target system. Further information on creating a
project can be found in the EL6910 documentation and the description of the function blocks under http://
www.beckhoff.de/english/download/twinsafe.htm.
In order to be able to use the EL2912 again as a safe TwinSAFE I/O slave, please delete the logic, the
mapping and the parameter data on the EtherCAT Terminal and switch the voltage off and on again.
Fig.6: Delete project data
3.9 Project design limits for the EL2912
Project design limits
The maximum project design size of the EL2912 is limited by the available memory. This is man-
aged dynamically. The values specified in the following table are therefore only guide values and
may differ from the actual values, depending on the safety project.
NOTE
Execution time of the logic function
Compared to the EL6910 with an identical logic program, the execution time will be typically longer as the
safe I/O signals have to be processed in addition. Accordingly this also affects the processing of the I/O sig-
nals, as they can only be evaluated less frequently as the size of the project increases.
