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.
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 [}31].
Example with D no. 29 10 02 01:
29 - week of production 29
10 - year of production 2010

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.

3.2 IO-Link master principles
3.2.1 Topology
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
3.2.2 Parameter 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.

3.4 Scope of supply
Make sure that the following components are included in the scope of delivery:
• 1 x EPP6228-0022 EtherCAT P Box
• 2x protective cap for EtherCATP socket, M8, red (pre-assembled)
• 10x labels, blank (1 strip of 10)
Pre-assembled protective caps do not ensure IP67 protection
Protective caps are pre-assembled at the factory to protect connectors during transport. They may
not be tight enough to ensure IP67 protection.
Ensure that the protective caps are correctly seated to ensure IP67 protection.
