EtherCAT Box - Introduction

2 EtherCAT Box - Introduction

The EtherCAT system has been extended with EtherCAT Box modules with protection class IP67. 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 126x30x26.5 mm (hxw xd) 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 M8connectors.
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 M12connectors.
The EtherCAT modules cover the typical range of requirements for I/O signals with protection class IP67:
• digital inputs with different filters (3.0ms or 10μs)
• digital outputs with 0.5 or 2A output current
• analog inputs and outputs with 16bit resolution
• Thermocouple and RTD inputs
• Stepper motor modules
XFC (eXtreme Fast Control Technology) modules, including inputs with time stamp, are also available.

3.1 Introduction

2-port EtherCATP junction
The 2-port EtherCAT P junction enables configuration of EtherCAT P topologies from an EtherCAT system. A modular EtherCAT P star can be realised by using several EP1312-0001 in series. Individual devices or complete EtherCAT P strands can be connected at the junction ports. EtherCAT P branches are connected via screw type, shielded EtherCAT-P-coded M8 sockets. The state of the EtherCAT P line is indicated by the Link/Activity LEDs. The Run LED indicates the status of the EP1312-0001.

Redirection of the supply voltages
The IN and OUT power connections are bridged in the module (not IP204x-Bxxx and IE204x). The supply voltages US and UP can thus easily be transferred from EtherCATBox to EtherCATBox.
NOTE
Pay attention to the maximum permissible current!
Pay attention also for the redirection of the supply voltages US and UP, the maximum permissible current for M8 connectors of 4A must not be exceeded!

4.3 UL Requirements

The installation of the EtherCAT Box Modules certified by UL has to meet the following requirements.
Supply voltage
CAUTION
CAUTION!
This UL requirements are valid for all supply voltages of all marked EtherCAT Box Modules! For the compliance of the UL requirements the EtherCAT Box Modules should only be supplied
• by a 24 VDC supply voltage, supplied by an isolating source and protected by means of a fuse (in accor­dance with UL248), rated maximum 4 Amp, or
• by a 24 VDC power source, that has to satisfy NEC class 2. A NEC class 2 power supply shall not be connected in series or parallel with another (class 2) power source!
CAUTION
CAUTION!
To meet the UL requirements, the EtherCAT Box Modules must not be connected to unlimited power sources!
Networks
CAUTION

5.1 Integration in TwinCAT

The procedure for integration in TwinCAT is described in this Quick start guide.
If you decide to use the manual offline configuration option, make sure you select the correct output port when adding further EtherCAT devices:
The port names can be found in the connections overview [}15].

Fault correction

6 Fault correction

6.1 Restart after short-circuit shutdown

If a short circuit is detected at an EtherCATP output, the affected output voltage is automatically switched off.
The output voltage remains switched off until you carry out a voltage reset of the corresponding supply voltage:
switch the supply voltage US/UP supplied via X60 [}20] off and on again.
Tip: Use an EP9224-0037 instead of the EP1312-0001 if you wish to switch a switched-off output voltage on again without a voltage reset. With the EP9224-0037, a switched-off voltage can be switched on again by software means.
Excessively high starting current may also be detected as a short circuit.
Remedy:
• Observe the maximum permissible number of EtherCATP slaves per segment in the Technical data [}12].
• Reduce the number of connected EtherCATP slaves by way of trial.

7.3 Version identification of EtherCAT devices

Designation
A Beckhoff EtherCAT device has a 14-digit designation, made up of
• family key
• type
• version
• revision
Example Family Type Version Revision
EL3314-0000-0016 EL terminal
(12 mm, non­pluggable connection level)
ES3602-0010-0017 ES terminal
(12 mm, pluggable connection level)
CU2008-0000-0000 CU device 2008 (8-port fast ethernet switch) 0000 (basic type) 0000
3314 (4-channel thermocouple terminal)
3602 (2-channel voltage measurement)
0000 (basic type) 0016
0010 (high­precision version)
0017
Notes
• The elements mentioned above result in the technical designation. EL3314-0000-0016 is used in the example below.
• EL3314-0000 is the order identifier, in the case of “-0000” usually abbreviated to EL3314. “-0016” is the EtherCAT revision.
• The order identifier is made up of
- family key (EL, EP, CU, ES, KL, CX, etc.)
- type (3314)
- version (-0000)
• The revision -0016 shows the technical progress, such as the extension of features with regard to the EtherCAT communication, and is managed by Beckhoff. In principle, a device with a higher revision can replace a device with a lower revision, unless specified otherwise, e.g. in the documentation. Associated and synonymous with each revision there is usually a description (ESI, EtherCAT Slave Information) in the form of an XML file, which is available for download from the Beckhoff web site. From 2014/01 the revision is shown on the outside of the IP20 terminals, see Fig. “EL5021 EL terminal, standard IP20 IO device with batch number and revision ID (since 2014/01)”.
• The type, version and revision are read as decimal numbers, even if they are technically saved in hexadecimal.
Identification number
Beckhoff EtherCAT devices from the different lines have different kinds of identification numbers:
Production lot/batch number/serial number/date code/D number
The serial number for Beckhoff IO devices is usually the 8-digit number printed on the device or on a sticker. The serial number indicates the configuration in delivery state and therefore refers to a whole production batch, without distinguishing the individual modules of a batch.
Structure of the serial number: KKYYFFHH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week) YY - year of production FF - firmware version HH - hardware version
EP1312-0001 27Version: 1.0
Appendix
Example with Ser. no.: 12063A02: 12 - production week 12 06 - production year 2006 3A - firmware version 3A 02 ­hardware version 02
Exceptions can occur in the IP67 area, where the following syntax can be used (see respective device documentation):
Syntax: D ww yy x y z u
D - prefix designation ww - calendar week yy - year x - firmware version of the bus PCB y - hardware version of the bus PCB z - firmware version of the I/O PCB u - hardware version of the I/O PCB
Example: D.22081501 calendar week 22 of the year 2008 firmware version of bus PCB: 1 hardware version of bus PCB: 5 firmware version of I/O PCB: 0 (no firmware necessary for this PCB) hardware version of I/O PCB: 1
Unique serial number/ID, ID number
In addition, in some series each individual module has its own unique serial number.

7.3.1 Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC)

The Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) is increasingly being applied to Beckhoff products to uniquely identify the product. The BIC is represented as a Data Matrix Code (DMC, code scheme ECC200), the content is based on the ANSI standard MH10.8.2-2016.
Fig.15: BIC as data matrix code (DMC, code scheme ECC200)
The BIC will be introduced step by step across all product groups.
Depending on the product, it can be found in the following places:
• on the packaging unit
• directly on the product (if space suffices)
• on the packaging unit and the product
The BIC is machine-readable and contains information that can also be used by the customer for handling and product management.
Each piece of information can be uniquely identified using the so-called data identifier (ANSIMH10.8.2-2016). The data identifier is followed by a character string. Both together have a maximum length according to the table below. If the information is shorter, spaces are added to it. The data under positions 1 to 4 are always available.
The following information is contained:

Example
Further types of information and data identifiers are used by Beckhoff and serve internal processes.
Structure of the BIC
Example of composite information from item 1 to 4 and 6. The data identifiers are marked in red for better display:
BTN
An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, item no.2). The BTN is a unique serial number consisting of eight characters that will replace all other serial number systems at Beckhoff in the long term (e.g. batch designations on IO components, previous serial number range for safety products, etc.). The BTN will also be introduced step by step, so it may happen that the BTN is not yet coded in the BIC.
NOTE
This information has been carefully prepared. However, the procedure described is constantly being further developed. We reserve the right to revise and change procedures and documentation at any time and with­out prior notice. No claims for changes can be made from the information, illustrations and descriptions in this information.
