documentation was written.
The module features are continuously improved and developed further. Modules having earlier production
statuses cannot have the same properties as modules with the latest status. However, existing properties
are retained and are not changed, so that older modules can always be replaced with new ones.

2.1EtherCAT Box - Introduction
The EtherCAT system has been extended with EtherCAT Box modules with protection class IP67. Through
the integrated EtherCAT interface the modules can be connected directly to an EtherCAT network without an
additional Coupler Box. The high-performance of EtherCAT is thus maintained into each module.
The extremely low dimensions of only 126x30x26.5 mm (hxw xd) are identical to those of the Fieldbus
Box extension modules. They are thus particularly suitable for use where space is at a premium. The small
mass of the EtherCAT modules facilitates applications with mobile I/O interface (e.g. on a robot arm). The
EtherCAT connection is established via screened M8connectors.
Fig.1: EtherCAT Box Modules within an EtherCAT network
The robust design of the EtherCAT Box modules enables them to be used directly at the machine. Control
cabinets and terminal boxes are now no longer required. The modules are fully sealed and therefore ideally
prepared for wet, dirty or dusty conditions.
Pre-assembled cables significantly simplify EtherCAT and signal wiring. Very few wiring errors are made, so
that commissioning is optimized. In addition to pre-assembled EtherCAT, power and sensor cables, fieldconfigurable connectors and cables are available for maximum flexibility. Depending on the application, the
sensors and actuators are connected through M8 or M12connectors.
The EtherCAT modules cover the typical range of requirements for I/O signals with protection class IP67:
• digital inputs with different filters (3.0ms or 10μs)
• digital outputs with 0.5 or 2A output current
• analog inputs and outputs with 16bit resolution
• Thermocouple and RTD inputs
• Stepper motor modules
XFC (eXtreme Fast Control Technology) modules, including inputs with time stamp, are also available.

8 digital inputs 24VDC (two channels with time stamp)
The EP1258 EtherCAT Box with digital inputs acquires fast binary control signals from the process level and
transmits them, electrically isolated, to the controller.
The status of the signal is displayed by light emitting diodes; the signal connection is made optionally
through M8 connectors (EP1258-0001) or M12 connectors (EP1258-0002). Both modules have 10µs input
filters.
The sensors are supplied from the control voltage Us. The load voltage Up is not used in the input module,
but may be connected in order to be relayed downstream.
Distributed Clocks
Channels 0 and 1 are assigned a time stamp that shows the time of the last edge change with a resolution of
1ns. This technology enables signals to be traced exactly over time and synchronized with the clocks
distributed across the system. With this technology, machine-wide parallel hardware wiring of digital inputs or
encoder signals for synchronization purposes is often no longer required. As a result, equally timed
reactions, independent of the bus cycle time, are to a large extent possible.
You will find more information about the distributed clocks system in the Distributed Clocks SystemDescription, which is available under Download at our Internet site (http://www.beckhoff.com).

16 digital inputs 24VDC, 2 x 3G accelerometers
The EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box with digital inputs acquires binary control signals from the process level
and transfers them, with electrical isolation, to the controller. The signal status is indicated by light emitting
diodes; the signal connection is made through a 25-pin Sub-D socket.
In addition the EP1816-3008 has two 3-axis accelerometers.
The sensors are supplied from the control voltage Us. The load voltage Up is not used in the input module,
but may be connected in order to be relayed downstream.

2.9.4Accelerometers
2 x 3G accelerometers
The EP1816-3008 EtherCAT Box features 2 3-axis accelerometers.
They are fitted on the underside the PCB at 90° angles.
Product overview
Fig.25: Location of the accelerometers
The image shows a top view and a side view of the EtherCAT Box. It shows the location of the
accelerometers within the Box. The green line indicates the location of the PCB. The accelerometers are
numbered 1 and 2. They are mounted on the underside of the PCB.
In this position, gravity (which is a form of acceleration), is displayed as a negative value when the Box is in
its normal operating position on a flat, level surface, e.g. on a test bench.

2.9.7Angle measurement
The angle relative to gravity can be calculated directly in the EP1816-3008 (CoE 0x8080:1D).
However, the complex trigonometric calculations would have undue impact on the cycle time of the Box, so
that in this mode the angle resolution is limited to 1°.
In cases where higher resolution and accuracy is required, the calculations should be executed on a PC. The
sensors used are capable of an accuracy of less than 0.1°.
Since the angle values are derived from the acceleration values, which are subject to certain noise, they
have to be filtered via suitable algorithms.
In simple cases this could be moving average, for example.

Electrical isolation
Digital modules
In the digital input/output modules, the grounds of the control voltage (GNDs) and the auxiliary voltage
(GNDp) are connected to each other!
Check this at the documentation of each used EtherCAT Box.
Analog modules
In the analog input/output modules the grounds of the control voltage (GNDs) and the auxiliary voltage
(GNDp) are separated from each other in order to ensure electrical isolation of the analog signals from the
control voltage.
In some of the analog modules the sensors or actuators are supplied by Up - this means, for instance, that in
the case of 0...10 V inputs, any reference voltage (0...30 V) may be connected to Up; this is then available to
the sensors (e.g. smoothed 10 V for measuring potentiometers).
Details of the power supply may be taken from the specific module descriptions.

Sync Manager
Lists the configuration of the Sync Manager (SM).
If the EtherCAT device has a mailbox, SM0 is used for the mailbox output (MbxOut) and SM1 for the mailbox
input (MbxIn).
SM2 is used for the output process data (outputs) and SM3 (inputs) for the input process data.
If an input is selected, the corresponding PDO assignment is displayed in the PDO Assignment list below.
PDO Assignment
PDO assignment of the selected Sync Manager. All PDOs defined for this Sync Manager type are listed
here:
• If the output Sync Manager (outputs) is selected in the Sync Manager list, all RxPDOs are displayed.
• If the input Sync Manager (inputs) is selected in the Sync Manager list, all TxPDOs are displayed.
The selected entries are the PDOs involved in the process data transfer. In the tree diagram of the System
Manager these PDOs are displayed as variables of the EtherCAT device. The name of the variable is
identical to the Name parameter of the PDO, as displayed in the PDO list. If an entry in the PDO assignment
list is deactivated (not selected and greyed out), this indicates that the input is excluded from the PDO
assignment. In order to be able do select a greyed out PDO, the currently selected PDO has to be
deselected first.

• Objects intended for regular operation [}76], e.g. through ADS access
• Objects for indicating internal settings [}76] (may be fixed)

EtherCAT XML Device Description
The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT XML Device Description.
We recommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the Beckhoff

4.8Firmware Update EL/ES/EM/EPxxxx
This section describes the device update for Beckhoff EtherCAT slaves from the EL/ES, EM, EK and EP
series. A firmware update should only be carried out after consultation with Beckhoff support.
Storage locations
An EtherCAT slave stores operating data in up to 3 locations:
• Depending on functionality and performance EtherCAT slaves have one or several local controllers for
processing I/O data. The corresponding program is the so-called firmware in *.efw format.
• In some EtherCAT slaves the EtherCAT communication may also be integrated in these controllers. In
this case the controller is usually a so-called FPGA chip with *.rbf firmware.
• In addition, each EtherCAT slave has a memory chip, a so-called ESI-EEPROM, for storing its own
device description (ESI: EtherCAT Slave Information). On power-up this description is loaded and the
EtherCAT communication is set up accordingly. The device description is available from the download
area of the Beckhoff website at (http://www.beckhoff.de). All ESI files are accessible there as zip files.
Customers can access the data via the EtherCAT fieldbus and its communication mechanisms. Acyclic
mailbox communication or register access to the ESC is used for updating or reading of these data.
The TwinCAT System Manager offers mechanisms for programming all 3 parts with new data, if the slave is
set up for this purpose. Generally the slave does not check whether the new data are suitable, i.e. it may no
longer be able to operate if the data are unsuitable.
Risk of damage to the device!
Note the following when downloading new device files
Attention
Device description ESI file/XML
• Firmware downloads to an EtherCAT device must not be interrupted
• Flawless EtherCAT communication must be ensured. CRC errors or LostFrames must be
avoided.
• The power supply must adequately dimensioned. The signal level must meet the specification.
In the event of malfunctions during the update process the EtherCAT device may become
unusable and require re-commissioning by the manufacturer.
Notice regarding update of the ESI description/EEPROM
Some slaves have stored calibration and configuration data from the production in the EEP-
Attention
The ESI device description is stored locally on the slave and loaded on start-up. Each device description has
a unique identifier consisting of slave name (9 characters/digits) and a revision number (4 digits). Each slave
configured in the System Manager shows its identifier in the EtherCAT tab:
ROM. These are irretrievably overwritten during an update.

The configured identifier must be compatible with the actual device description used as hardware, i.e. the
description which the slave has loaded on start-up (in this case EL3204). Normally the configured revision
must be the same or lower than that actually present in the terminal network.
For further information on this, please refer to the EtherCAT system documentation.

Display of ESI slave identifier
The simplest way to ascertain compliance of configured and actual device description is to scan the
EtherCAT boxes in TwinCAT mode Config/FreeRun:
binations lead to malfunctions or even final shutdown of the device. Corresponding updates
should only be carried out in consultation with Beckhoff support.

Fig.79: Change dialog
In this example in Fig. "Change dialog", an EL3201-0000-0017 was found, while an EL3201-0000-0016 was
configured. In this case the configuration can be adapted with the Copy Before button. The ExtendedInformation checkbox must be set in order to display the revision.
Changing the ESI slave identifier
The ESI/EEPROM identifier can be updated as follows under TwinCAT:
• Trouble-free EtherCAT communication must be established with the slave.
• The state of the slave is irrelevant.
• Right-clicking on the slave in the online display opens the EEPROM Update dialog, Fig. "EEPROM
