Firmware and hardware versions
Foreword
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 EtherCAT Box.
Syntax of the batch number (D-number)
D: WW YY FF HH
WW - week of production (calendar week) YY - year of production FF - firmware version HH - hardware version
Further information on this topic: Version identification of EtherCAT devices [}26].

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: EPP1332-0001
EPP1332-0001 | EtherCATP junction with refresh
The EPP1332-0001 EtherCATP Box has two functions in an EtherCATP network:
• Junction: EPP1332-0001 distributes the incoming EtherCATP signal to three output ports.
• Feed-in point for refreshing the supply voltages.
A refresh of the supply voltages may be necessary in EtherCATP networks with long cables and/or high output currents. It prevents:
• the supply voltages falling below the permissible minimum due to line losses.
• the current carrying capacity of the EtherCATP cables being exceeded by high output currents.
A planning tool for EtherCATP networks integrated in TwinCAT provides support for deciding where in the network a refresh of the supply voltages should be applied.

4.2.3 EtherCAT P cable conductor losses M8

When using ZK700x-xxxx-0xxx EtherCATP cables it must be ensured that the voltage at the last device is not less than the minimum rated voltage of 20.4 V according to the standard. Variations in the output voltage from the power supply unit must also be taken into account. This ensures that the connected consumers, sensors and actuators are operated within the permitted voltage range.
The voltage calculation tool integrated in TwinCAT can be used for the offline calculation of the cable lengths.
The EPP9022-0060 box with diagnostics can be used for checking during operation.

4.3 Power supply

4.3.1 Feed-in

Two M8 connectors at the bottom of the EtherCATP Box are used for feeding and routing the supply voltages.
• IN (X60): left M8 connector for feeding the supply voltages
• OUT (X61): right M8 connector for routing the supply voltages

The contacts of the M8 connectors can conduct a maximum current of 4A.
Control voltage U
S
Power is supplied to the fieldbus, the processor logic, the inputs and the sensors from the control voltage US. The control voltage is electrically isolated from the fieldbus circuitry.
Peripheral voltage U
P
The peripheral voltage UP supplies the digital outputs; it can be brought in separately. Hence, if the peripheral voltage is switched off, the fieldbus function as well as the supply and function of the inputs are retained.

Mounting and cabling
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!

4.3.2 Status LEDs

IP67 modules have two status LEDs, which indicate the state of the supply voltages US and UP.

4.4 Cabling

For connecting EtherCAT devices only shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least category5 (CAT5) according to EN50173 or ISO/IEC11801 should be used.
EtherCAT uses four wires for signal transmission. Thanks to automatic line detection ("Auto MDI-X"), both symmetrical (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between Beckhoff EtherCAT.

5.1 Configuration in TwinCAT

An EtherCATP Box must be configured in TwinCAT to ensure that its functions can be used in a PLC program.
Under the following link you will find a quick start guide describing the configuration of an EtherCATP Box in TwinCAT:
https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/epioconfiguration/index.html?id=6991403443235907429

5.1.1 Assignment of connectors

This chapter describes the assignment of the connectors of EPP1332-0001 and EPP1342-0001 to their representation in TwinCAT. This assignment is required to correctly map an EtherCAT network in TwinCAT "offline" configuration.
An IO module that represents a Box in TwinCAT has four ports: A, B, C, D. Each port represents one connector. The following diagram shows the assignment of the connectors to the ports of an IO module in TwinCAT:

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
EPP1332-0001, EPP1342-000126 Version: 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.
