2.1 Introduction
Fig.1: ZB8610
Fan cartridge for EtherCAT and Bus Terminal
The ZB8610 fan cartridge is used for forced ventilation within the terminal housing and ensures better heat
dissipation from the housing. It extends the thermal operating range of EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx) and
Bus Terminals (KLxxxx) and offers a wide range of new application options. The cartridge is installed on the
underside of the terminal segment and covers a width of four standard terminals (4 x 12 mm). It consists of
the fan, an installation plate, a terminal strip (24 V DC, 0 V DC, diag, mode) and a bracket for fixation on
different terminal housings (see fig. “Components ZB8610”).

2.3 Mounting and demounting
The ZB8610 fan cartridge is snapped onto a 48-mm wide terminal group of Beckhoff standard or highdensity (HD) terminals using the "8-channel/16-channel fan cartridge holder" supplied as an accessory.
Fig.3: Fan cartridge holder, 8-channel
Fig.4: Fan cartridge holder, 16-channel
The width of the individual terminals may be 12 mm (single width) or 24 mm (double width) or a combination
of both.
The mounting of the ZB8610 is described below by way of an example.
Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!

Product overview
Mounting
1. Assemble the terminals to be ventilated into a group with a width of 48 mm and snap the holder on the left
in the lower ventilation cut-outs of the first terminal to be ventilated, as shown in fig. "Engaging the holder for
the fan cartridge".
Fig.5: Engaging the holder for the fan cartridge
The holder is correctly engaged when a clear click sound is heard.

2. Push the fan cartridge onto the holder as shown in fig. "Attaching the fan cartridge". The holding tab and
the recess (see fig. "Push fan cartridge with recess over holding tab") on the fan cartridge fit each other and
close flush in a downward direction.

2. To detach the holder from the terminal, place a screwdriver between the terminal and holder (see fig.) and
carefully lever until the holder releases.

Clearance of the fan cartridge module
When installing terminals with mounted fan cartridge module ensure that an adequate
Note
spacing (>35mm) is maintained between other components above and below the terminals (incl. fan cartridge) in order to guarantee a flawless operation of the fan cartridge and
adequate ventilation of the terminals.

Product overview
2.5 Basic Function Principles and Commissioning
Area of application
The ZB8610 fan cartridge is delivered ready to operate. No adjustments need to be made to the device.
A typical application of the fan module is extension of the performance range of the terminals through forced
cooling. This enables the EL7201 EtherCAT servo terminal to operate with higher output current, for example
(4.5A
smaller footprint.
A further application is extension of the operating temperature range of the terminals. Depending on the
technical specification, the fan module enables the terminals to operate at temperatures of up to 70°C. The
exact terminal-specific information for this application can be found in the documentation for the respective
terminals.
Commissioning
instead of 2.8A
RMS
), so that the performance is on a par with the EL7211, with the benefit of a 50%
RMS
• Connect the ZB8610 fan cartridge according to the instructions in the section "LED display and
connection [}17]".
• The fan can be operated in three different modes:
1. Demand-based control via an integrated temperature sensor (default, only power supply required)
◦ The fan cartridge starts operating at approx. 40 °C ( 2.700 U/min) and increases the speed
stepwise with increasing temperature
◦ From approx. 55 °C the fan reaches the full speed ( 5.500 U/min)
◦ If the temperature decreases below approx. 35 °C, the fan cartridge switches off
2. Continuous operation at full load (in addition to the power supply a high signal is applied at the mode
pin.)
3. Frequency controlled by an externally applied frequency (1 – 9 Hz) at the Mode pin, which is converted internally in steps from 2,700 rpm to max. ~5,500rpm. A digital output terminal, for example,
can be used as an external source. The measurement of the internal terminal temperature, which is integrated in TwinCAT, is used as reference for speed control of the fan via the frequency.
• In case of error there is a low signal on the "Diag" output and the LED display lights up red.

3.1 UL notice
Application
Beckhoff EtherCAT modules are intended for use with Beckhoff’s UL Listed EtherCAT System only.
Examination
For cULus examination, the Beckhoff I/O System has only been investigated for risk of fire
and electrical shock (in accordance with UL508 and CSA C22.2 No. 142).
For devices with Ethernet connectors
Not for connection to telecommunication circuits.
Basic principles
Two UL certificates are met in the Beckhoff EtherCAT product range, depending upon the components:
• UL certification according to UL508
Devices with this kind of certification are marked by this sign:
Almost all current EtherCAT products (as at 2010/05) are UL certified without restrictions.
• UL certification according to UL508 with limited power consumption
The current consumed by the device is limited to a max. possible current consumption of 4 A. Devices
with this kind of certification are marked by this sign:
Almost all current EtherCAT products (as at 2010/05) are UL certified without restrictions.
Application
If terminals certified with restrictions are used, then the current consumption at 24 V DC must be limited
accordingly by means of supply
• from an isolated source protected by a fuse of max. 4A (according to UL248) or
• from a voltage supply complying with NEC class 2.
A voltage source complying with NEC class 2 may not be connected in series or parallel with another
NEC class 2 compliant voltage supply!
These requirements apply to the supply of all EtherCAT bus couplers, power adaptor terminals, Bus
Terminals and their power contacts.
