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.

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, e.g. through ADS access.
• Objects for indicating internal settings (may be fixed)
• Further profile-specific objects [}43] 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
(12 mm, pluggable
connection level)
CU2008-0000-0000 CU device2008 (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: KKYYFFHH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week)
YY - year of production
FF - firmware version
HH - hardware version
EPP4374-000249Version: 1.1
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.26: 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.
