Product group: EtherCATP Box modules

2 Product group: EtherCATP Box modules

EtherCATP

EtherCATP supplements the EtherCAT technology with a process in which communication and supply
voltages are transmitted on a common line. All EtherCAT properties are retained with this process.

Two supply voltages are transmitted per EtherCATP line. The supply voltages are electrically isolated from
each other and can therefore be switched individually. The nominal supply voltage for both is 24 VDC.

EtherCAT P uses the same cable structure as EtherCAT: a 4-core Ethernet cable with M8 connectors. The
connectors are mechanically coded so that EtherCAT connectors and EtherCATP connectors cannot be
interchanged.

EtherCATP Box modules

EtherCATP Box modules are EtherCATP slaves with IP67 protection. They are designed for operation in
wet, dirty or dusty industrial environments.

Product overview

Fig.2: EPP1111-0000

EPP1111-0000 | EtherCAT P Box with ID switch

The EPP1111 EtherCAT P Box has three decimal ID switches for assigning an ID to a group of EtherCAT
components. This group can be present in any position in the EtherCAT P network, as a result of which
variable topologies and Hot Connect groups can be realised in a simple manner.

The EtherCAT P connection is established via shielded EtherCAT-P-coded M8 screw type sockets with
direct display of link and activity status. The Run LED indicates the status of the EPP1111.

Appendix

6.3 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

EPP1111-0000 29Version: 1.2

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.

6.3.1 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.22: 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.
