Where it sits in the control system
The EL6692 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Beckhoff EL6692
Beckhoff EL6692 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number EL6692; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 24 mm x 100 mm x 52 mm — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Weight: approx. 75 g — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Humidity: 95%, no condensation — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about EL6692
Q.Where can I find the storage temperature data for EL6692?
It is listed in the specification table for Beckhoff EL6692 as -40…+85°C. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.For EL6692, what does the specification table state about weight?
The specification table lists weight = approx. 75 g for Beckhoff EL6692. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under dimensions (H x W x D) for catalog number EL6692?
For EL6692, dimensions (H x W x D) is given as 24 mm x 100 mm x 52 mm. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of EL6692 before ordering?
Match the catalog number EL6692 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the EL6692 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number EL6692 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
