Firmware and hardware versions
This documentation refers to the firmware and hardware version that was applicable at the time the
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.
The firmware and hardware version (delivery state) can be found in the batch number (D-number) printed on
the side of the EtherCATBox.

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.

The EP1008 and EP1018 EtherCAT Box modules with digital inputs acquire binary control signals from the
process level, and transfer 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 (EP1008-0001, EP1018-0001) or M12 connectors (EP1008-0002, EP1018-0002,
EP1008-0022). These versions have input filters of different speeds.
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.

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).
