EtherCATP
EtherCATP 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 EtherCATP 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 EtherCATP connectors cannot be
interchanged.
EtherCATP Box modules
EtherCATP Box modules are EtherCATP slaves with IP67 protection. They are designed for operation in
wet, dirty or dusty industrial environments.

4-channel analog input thermocouple
The EPP3314 EtherCAT P Box with analog inputs permits four thermocouples to be directly connected. The
module’s circuit can operate thermocouple sensors using the 2-wire technique. Linearisation over the full
temperature range is realised with the aid of a microprocessor. The temperature range can be selected
freely. The error LEDs indicate a broken wire. Compensation for the cold junction is made through a
temperature measurement in the connecting plugs. This means that standard extension leads can be
connected. The EPP3314 can also be used for mV measurement.
The module is quite versatile, but the default values are selected in such a way that in most cases it is not
necessary to perform configuration. The input filter and associated conversion times can be set within a wide
range; several data output formats may be chosen. If required, the inputs can be scaled differently.
Automatic limit monitoring is also available. Parameterisation is carried out via EtherCAT. The parameters
are stored in the module. For the temperature compensation a Pt1000 element is needed. Beckhoff offers a
connector with temperature compensation (ZS2000-3712).

3.5Basics of thermocouple technology
Thermocouples are temperature sensors. The application areas of thermocouples are very diverse due to
their low cost, fast detection of temperature differences, wide temperature ranges, high temperature limits
and availability in a wide range of types and sizes.
Measuring principle and configuration
Temperature measurement with a thermocouple is based on the Seebeck effect, which was discovered in
the 1820s by the German physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck. The Seebeck effect, also known as
thermoelectric effect, describes a charge shift in a conductive material due to a temperature gradient along
the conductor. The magnitude of the charge shift depends on the magnitude of the temperature difference
and the respective conductor material.
In thermocouples this charge shift is used to generate a voltage. Two different conductor materials are
connected at one end. This is the measuring point at which the temperature is to be determined. At the other
end the conductors are not connected. This open end, where the transition to the measuring electronics is
located, is the cold junction. A temperature difference occurs between the cold junction and the measuring
point, which can be measured via the voltage between the conductors at the open end. The voltage depends
on the conductor materials used and the temperature difference. It is in the range of a few mV.
Fig.4: Structure and principle of a thermocouple
If only one material were used for a thermocouple, the charge shift in both conductors would be identical, so
that no potential difference between the two conductors at the open end could be measured.
The temperature measurement with thermocouples is therefore actually a voltage measurement, based on
which a temperature can be determined from the known characteristic curve. In addition, the measuring
procedure is not absolute but differential, since no absolute temperature (with the reference point 0 °C) is
determined, but the temperature difference between the measuring point and the cold junction.
EPP3314-000214Version: 1.2
Product overview
For the evaluation of thermocouples, measuring electronics are required that can evaluate small voltages in
the mV range with sufficiently high resolution and accuracy. Thermocouples are active sensors, which
means that no sensor supply is required to measure the temperature.
Thermocouple types
There are different types of thermocouples, which consist of different combinations of conductor materials.
Each material combination has specific properties and is suitable for certain applications. The different
thermocouple types are distinguished by letters.
Due to the different material combinations, the different thermocouple types have different characteristic
values. They differ in the temperature limits and the characteristic voltage/temperature curve. In order to be
able to differentiate between the thermocouple types, the color codes for the sheath, the positive pole and
the negative pole are defined in various standards.
The following table shows common thermocouple types with the specification of the materials used, the
defined temperature ranges and the color coding.

The thermocouple must be selected according to the operating conditions. Therefore, not only the
uncertainty must be taken into account, but also the other properties of the different thermocouple types. For
an application with small temperature fluctuations, it is advantageous to select a thermocouple type with a
high thermovoltage per temperature change. In an application where the temperature to be measured is very
high, it is important to observe the maximum operating temperature.
Characteristic curve
Type-specific reference tables are available for determining the temperature difference to a measured
thermovoltage. A simple conversion of the voltage into a temperature with a temperature coefficient, as is
often approximated in resistance thermometers, is not possible because the relationship between voltage
and temperature is clearly non-linear over the entire measuring range. The changing temperature coefficient
results in a non-linear characteristic voltage/temperature curve. This characteristic curve is in turn dependent
on the thermocouple type, so that each type has its own non-linear characteristic voltage/temperature curve.
As an example, the characteristic curves for typical thermocouple types are shown in the following diagram.
The non-linearity is particularly evident in the temperature range below 0°C.
EPP3314-000215Version: 1.2
Product overview
Fig.5: Characteristic voltage/temperature curves of different thermocouple types
Thermocouples are subject to unavoidable and irreversible changes during practical application, which leads
to ever-increasing measurement uncertainties over time. In other words: the measurement becomes more
and more incorrect over time. These changes are also referred to as aging and depend on various
influencing factors. Examples of these influences are mechanical and chemical stresses on the
thermocouples. Mechanical stresses are deformations of the conductors, which change the crystal structure
of the metals. This leads to incorrect thermovoltages. Chemical stresses are also changes in the crystal
structure of the metals or oxidation, which change the thermal properties of the conductors, resulting in a
change in the characteristic curve. This influence can be reduced by installation in gas-tight protection tubes.
Pluggable connections
Open wire ends or suitable thermocouple connectors can be used to connect thermocouples to measuring
devices and evaluation electronics or to connect a thermocouple to thermo or compensating cables.
Ideally, the contacts of such a thermocouple connector are made of the material of the respective
thermocouple. This results in a thermovoltage-free transition at the connection points. The plugs are colorcoded depending on the type, e.g. type K is green. Labelling on the housing and different contact shapes are
intended to avoid polarity reversal.
There are several common sizes: standard, mini, micro.
A special feature is the white connector, which is designed with normal copper contacts, almost like a normal
non-thermocouple connector. This makes it universally applicable for all thermocouple types, although it has
the disadvantage that it does not create a thermovoltage-free transition. Far more common than the white

Product overview
plug is the white "universal" socket on the measuring device. This allows any thermocouple plug to be
plugged into the device. In the measuring device, the cold junction temperature must then be determined at
this plug transition.
Extensions and connection of thermocouples
In some cases it is useful to extend the thermocouple and thus to move the cold junction to a particular
location, where the temperature can be kept constant or measured by simple means. For this purpose the
thermocouple must be extended. This can be done with a thermo or compensation wire. Thermo cables are
made of the same material as the thermocouple itself. Compensating cables, on the other hand, are usually
made of cheaper materials with similar thermal properties. Both types are therefore suitable for extending a
thermocouple to a remote cold junction. The wires for thermo and compensating cables are standardized by
DIN 43713.
With compensating cables, care must be taken to ensure that the material used has similar thermal
properties but not identical properties. The thermal properties only apply in a narrowly limited temperature
range. At the transition from thermocouple to compensation wire, another thermocouple is created. This
results in small thermovoltage distortions, which influence the measurement result. If the compensating
cables are used outside the specified temperature range, the accuracy of the temperature measurement will
be further affected and the measurement result will deteriorate.
For both thermal and compensation wires, there are two accuracy classes that indicate the limit deviations.
These are defined in DIN43722. When selecting the thermocouple extension, the resulting uncertainty
should be considered and evaluated.
Sensor circuit
Changing the sensor circuit through additional elements such as selector switches or multiplexers
can affect the measuring accuracy. In such switches, small local thermovoltages can be generated
which distort the measurement. If such components cannot be avoided in the application, their influence should be carefully examined.
Maximum cable length to the thermocouple
Without additional protective measures, the maximum cable length from the measuring module (terminal, box) to the thermocouple is 30m. For longer cable lengths, suitable surge protection should
be provided.
Determination of the absolute temperature
Temperature measurement with a thermocouple is a differential temperature measurement, in which the
temperature difference between the measuring point and the reference junction, also known as cold junction,
is determined. To determine the absolute temperature at the measuring point, the measured thermovoltage
must therefore be corrected by the thermovoltage at the cold junction. With the corrected thermovoltage, the
temperature at the measuring point can then be determined from suitable tables or characteristic curves.
Due to the non-linearity of the characteristic curve, it is imperative that this calculation is carried out with the
voltages and not with the temperature. Otherwise, there would be a significant error in the measurement.
Difficulties in measuring temperature with thermocouples

- Cold junction compensation
In general, the absolute temperature is calculated using the following relationship:

In the following section, the absolute temperature is determined as an example based on correction of the
thermovoltages and the temperature. The example calculation can be used to illustrate the error resulting
from incorrect correction.

The temperature of the measuring point could then be determined with reference to 0°C:

Note that there is a temperature difference of 1.5°C between the value with the proper correction (voltage
correction, option 1) and the value with the incorrect correction (temperature correction, option 2).
The correction of the thermovoltage value to determine the absolute temperature value is referred to as cold
junction compensation. In order to determine an absolute temperature value that is as accurate as possible,
the temperature at the cold junction must either be kept constant at a known value or measured continuously
during the measurement with the smallest possible uncertainty. In some applications, the cold junction may
be in an ice bath (0°C), for example. In this case the temperature determined via the thermovoltage
corresponds to both the temperature difference and the absolute temperature. In many applications,
however, this option cannot be implemented, so that cold junction compensation is necessary.
As a cold junction in thermocouple evaluation with Bus Terminals, the cold junction temperature is measured
at the transition from the thermocouple to the copper contacts. This value is measured continuously during
operation in order to correct the determined values internally.
Evaluation of thermocouples with thermocouple terminals
Beckhoff thermocouple modules (terminals, box) can evaluate thermocouples of different types. Linearization
of the characteristic curves and determination of the reference temperature takes place directly in the
module. The module can be fully configured via the Bus Coupler or the controller. Different output formats
may be selected or own scaling activated. Linearization of the characteristic curve and determination and
calculation of the reference temperature (temperature at the connection contacts of the module) can be
deactivated, so the module can be used as a [mV] measuring device or with an external cold junction. In
addition to the internal evaluation of the measured voltage for conversion into a temperature, the raw voltage
value can be transferred from the terminal to the control system for further processing.
Temperature measurement with thermocouples generally comprises three steps:
• Measuring the electrical voltage
• Optional: Temperature measurement of the internal cold junction
• Software-based conversion of the voltage into a temperature value according to the set thermocouple
type (K, J, …)
All three steps can take place locally in the Beckhoff measuring module. Module-based transformation can
be disabled if the conversion is to take place in the higher-level control system. Depending on the module
type, several thermocouple conversions are available, which differ in terms of their software implementation.

Product overview
Uncertainties in the evaluation of thermocouples with thermocouple terminals
The thermocouple measurement consists of a chain of measuring and computing elements that affect the
attainable measurement deviation:
Fig.6: Concatenation of the uncertainties in temperature measurement with thermocouples
When measuring a temperature, there are various factors influencing the accuracy, from which the total
inaccuracy (total uncertainty) is then derived.
Uncertainty of the voltage measurement
First and foremost, measuring a temperature with thermocouples is not based on an actual temperature
measurement, but a voltage measurement with subsequent conversion into a temperature. The accuracy of
the voltage measurement is therefore the basis for the accuracy of the temperature determination. Since a
change of 1°C at the sensor causes a change in the single-digit µV range, depending on the thermocouple
type, even a small uncertainty of the voltage measurement has a large influence on the final result.
Uncertainty of the temperature conversion
The conversion of the measured voltage into a temperature is carried out during evaluation either by means
of value tables from the characteristic voltage/temperature curve of a thermocouple type or by approximation
based on a polynomial. Due to the non-linearity of the characteristic voltage/temperature curve, both options
are only approximations of the actual values, so that the conversion results in a further (small) transformation
uncertainty component.
Uncertainty of the cold junction evaluation
Cold junction compensation in thermocouple terminals must be carried out at the transition from the
thermocouple to the copper contacts of the electronics. However, in many cases the temperature at this
point cannot be measured directly for mechanical reasons. In this case the temperature of the cold junction
has to be approximated at a distance of a few millimeters or through an average value of the housing
temperatures. Since the exact value cannot be determined in this way, this results in further uncertainty.
Uncertainty of the sensor
The three factors influencing the uncertainty referred to above relate to the uncertainties in the evaluation of
the thermocouples. The accuracy of the thermocouple itself is another factor and must also be taken into
account.
Since temperature measurement with thermocouples is actually a voltage measurement and the
thermocouples have a non-linear characteristic voltage/temperature curve, it is not possible to simply add up
the individual temperature uncertainties to obtain the total uncertainty. To calculate the total uncertainty, all
temperature values must be converted into the corresponding voltage value of the respective thermocouple
type. When the temperatures are added together an error occurs, as described in the example in the chapter
on "Determination of the absolute temperature".
The following diagram shows an example of an analysis of the uncertainties associated with the evaluation
of a thermocouple for an EL331x thermocouple terminal with internal cold junction compensation and
conversion of the voltage into a temperature via a second degree polynomial. The diagram does not take
into account the uncertainty of the thermocouple itself, which is an additional factor.

Product overview
Fig.7: Example for an uncertainty analysis of the evaluation of thermocouples with thermocouple terminals
It is clear from the diagram that the uncertainty of the measured temperature depends on the temperature to
be measured. Especially in the lower temperature range, where there is a strong non-linearity of voltage and
temperature, the uncertainty of the temperature measurement increases significantly.

4.2.1.2.1Supply voltages
Fig.12: Status LEDs for the supply voltages
EtherCAT P Box Modules have two LEDs that display the status of the supply voltages. The status LEDs are
labelled with the designations of the supply voltages: Us and Up.
A status LED lights up green when the respective supply voltage is present.
A Status LED lights up red if the respective supply voltage is short-circuited.

4.2.1.3Conductor losses
Take into account the voltage drop on the supply line when planning a system. Avoid the voltage drop being
so high that the supply voltage at the box lies below the minimum nominal voltage.
Variations in the voltage of the power supply unit must also be taken into account.
Use the planning tool for EtherCAT P in TwinCAT.

4.2.2Thermocouples
The temperature compensation is fed to the outside of the modules. This means that in the connector the
temperature compensation is measured directly at the connection point. This allows the temperature to be
measured with significantly better accuracy. Beckhoff offer a connector (ZS2000-3712) for this. The
temperature compensation can also be carried out at a location other than the Fieldbus Box. You must then
wire a Pt1000 between pins 1 and 3. The longer the cables you choose to use, the larger is the
measurement error caused by the length of the conductor, conductor losses and interference.
4.2.2.1Status LEDs at the signal connections
There is a green Run LED and a red Error LED for each channel.
Correct function is indicated if the green Run LED is on and the red Error is off.

5.2.4Filter
Each analog input has a digital filter. The filter is a notch filter.
The filter is always active; it cannot be disabled. None of the "Enable Filter" parameters have any effect:
0x8000:06, 0x8010:06, 0x8020:06, 0x8030:06.
Configuring the filter
You can set the filter frequency in the parameter 0x8000:15 "Filter Settings". This parameter affects all
channels. The "Filter Settings" parameters of the other channels have no effect:
0x8010:15, 0x8020:15, 0x8030:15.
Influence on the conversion time
The higher the filter frequency, the shorter the conversion time.
5.2.5Limit 1 and Limit 2
Limit 1 and limit 2, index 0x80n0:13, index 0x80n0:14
A temperature range can be set that is limited by the values in the indices 0x80n0:13 and 0x80n0:14. If the
limit values are overshot, the bits in indices 0x80n0:07 and 0x80n0:08 are set.
The temperature value is entered with a resolution of 0.1 °C.
Example:
Limit 1= 30 °C

5.2.6Calibration
Vendor calibration, index 0x80n0:0B
The vendor calibration is enabled via index 0x80n0:0B. Parameterization takes place via the indices
• 0x80nF:01
Thermocouple offset (vendor calibration)
• 0x80nF:02

Reference point gain [Pt1000] (vendor calibration)
Vendor and user calibration
User calibration (index 0x80n0:0A) should only be performed instead of the vendor calibration (index 0x80n0:0B), but this is generally only necessary in exceptional cases.
User calibration , index 0x80n0:0A
User calibration is enabled via index 0x80n0:0A. Parameterization takes place via the indices
• 0x80n0:17
Thermocouple offset (index 0x80nF:01, user calibration)
• 0x80n0:18
Thermocouple gain (index 0x80nF:02, user calibration)
User scaling, index 0x80n0:01
The user scaling is enabled via index 0x80n0:01. Parameterization takes place via the indices
• 0x80n0:11
User scaling offset
The offset describes a vertical shift of the characteristic curve by a linear amount.
At a resolution of 0.1°, 1 digit
At a resolution of 0.01°, 1 digit
corresponds to an increase in measured value by 0.1°

User scaling gain
•
The default value of 65536
corresponds to gain = 1.

Calculation of process data
The concept "calibration", which has historical roots at Beckhoff, is used here even if it has nothing to do with
the deviation statements of a calibration certificate. Actually, this is a description of the vendor or customer
calibration data/adjustment data used by the device during operation in order to maintain the assured
measuring accuracy.
The box constantly records measured values and saves the raw values from its A/D converter in the ADC
raw value objects 0x80nE:01, 0x80nE:02. After each recording of the analog signal, the correction
calculation takes place with the vendor and user calibration data as well as the user scaling, if these are
activated (see following picture).

5.4Object description and parameterization
EtherCAT XML Device Description
The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT XML Device Description. We recommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the Beckhoff website and installing it according to installation instructions.
Parameterization via the CoE list (CAN over EtherCAT)
The EtherCAT device is parameterized via the CoE - Online tab (double-click on the respective object) or via the Process Data tab (allocation of PDOs).
Introduction
The CoE overview contains objects for different intended applications:
• Objects required for parameterization during commissioning
• Objects intended for regular operation [}45], e.g. through ADS access
• Objects for indicating internal settings [}39] (may be fixed)
• Further profile-specific objects [}51] indicating inputs, outputs and status information
The following section first describes the objects required for normal operation, followed by a complete
overview of missing objects.

6.3Version identification of EtherCAT devices
Designation
A Beckhoff EtherCAT device has a 14-digit designation, made up of
• family key
• type
• version
• revision
ExampleFamilyTypeVersionRevision
EL3314-0000-0016EL terminal
(12 mm, nonpluggable connection
level)
ES3602-0010-0017 ES terminal

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: KKYYFFHH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week)
YY - year of production
FF - firmware version
HH - hardware version
EPP3314-000260Version: 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.

6.3.1Beckhoff 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.28: 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
(ANSIMH10.8.2-2016). 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.
