Firm and hardware version
The documentation refers to the firm and hardware status that was valid at the time it was prepared.
The properties of the modules are subject to continuous development and improvement. Modules having
earlier production statuses cannot have the same properties as modules with the latest status. Existing
properties, however, are always retained and are not changed, so that these modules can always be
replaced by new ones.
The firmware and hardware version (delivery state) can be found in the batch number (D number) printed at
the side of the EtherCAT Box.

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.

Fig.4: EP3162-0002
2-channel analog input ± 10V or 0/4...20mA, electrically isolated, single-ended, 16-bit
The EP3162 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs that can be individually parameterized to process signals
either in the range from -10V to +10V or from 0/4mA to 20mA. The voltage or input current is digitized with
a resolution of 16bits, and is transmitted (electrically isolated) to the higher-level automation device.
The two input channels are electrically isolated from each other. The input filter and therefore the conversion
times are configurable in a wide range. The inputs can, if required, be scaled differently, and automatic limit
value monitoring is also available. EtherCAT is used for parameterization purposes. The parameters are
stored in the module.

Analog inputs (single-ended)
The EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two analog inputs which can be individually parameterized, so that
they process signals either in the -10V to +10V range or the 0/4mA…20mA range.
The voltage or input current is digitized with a resolution of 16bits, and is transmitted (electrically isolated) to
the higher-level automation device.
The two input channels are single-ended and share a common internal ground potential. The input filter and
therefore the conversion times are configurable in a wide range.
The inputs can, if required, be scaled differently, and automatic limit value monitoring is also available.
EtherCAT is used for parameterization purposes. The parameters are stored in the module.
Digital outputs
In addition, the EP3182-1002 EtherCAT Box has two digital outputs via which it forwards the binary control
signals from the controller to the actuators at the process level.
These two outputs (sink/source type) are intended for the switching of logic inputs or outputs with a minimum
impedance of 10kOhm (e.g. reset inputs of digital sensors) and can process currents up to 2mA. They
indicate their signal state by LEDs and are short-circuit proof.
The signals are also connected via the two M12 connectors.
