Firmware and hardware versions
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.

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.

IO-Link-Master
The EPP6228 IO-Link module enables connection of up to eight IO-Link devices, e.g. IO-Link box modules,
actuators, sensors or combinations thereof. A point-to-point connection is used between the module and the
device. The EtherCAT P Box is parameterised via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent
link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, so that parameterisation information can be exchanged
bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection. The parameterisation of the IO-Link devices with service data can
be done from TwinCAT via ADS or very conveniently via the integrated IO-Link configuration tool. In addition
to the IO-Link channels, the EPP6228 features eight digital inputs on pin 2 of the respective M12 socket. In
the standard setting, the IO-Link channels C/Qx of the EPP6228 accept both IO-Link devices and standard
sensors with 24 V DC.

3.2IO-Link master principles
3.2.1Topology
The IO-Link master serves as a gateway between an automation system (EtherCAT) and the IO-Link
devices. It has several IO-Link ports, to each of which an IO-Link device can be connected.
Fig.3: IO-Link topology
3.2.2Parameter memory
The IO-Link master has a parameter memory. The parameter memory can save a non-volatile copy of the
parameters of connected devices.
If a device fails, its parameters remain in the parameter memory.
If a defective device is replaced by a new, identical device, the master can automatically parameterize the
new device with the stored parameters.

5.3Diagnosis
5.3.1IO-Link Events
Some of the IO-Link sensors forward events that occur to the master. These events may be items of
information, warnings or error messages, e.g. short circuit or overheating.
The IO-Link master reports these events by setting the Device Diag bit. Further information on the events
can be read via the CoE directory or the DiagHistory tab.
Fig.14: DiagHistory tab
The events are arranged according to type (information, warning, error), flag, occurrence of the event (time
stamp) and message (port number & event code).
The meaning of the individual messages can be taken from the vendor documentation. The IO-Link device
can be directly allocated on the basis of the port number. The events occurring can be managed using the
various buttons.
• Update History: if the "Auto Update" field is not selected, then the current events can be displayed via
the "Update History" button
• Auto Update: if this field is selected, then the list of events occurring is automatically updated
• Only new Messages: if this field is selected, then only those messages that have not yet been
confirmed are displayed.
• Ack. Messages: an event that occurs is reported via the Device Diag. Confirming the message will
reset the bit to 0.
• Export Diag History: the events that have occurred can be exported as a "txt" file and thus archived.
• Advanced: this field currently (as at 3rd quarter 2015) has no function.

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

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
EPP6228-002231Version: 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.23: 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:

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.
