Product overview Product overview EtherCAT Box - Introduction The EtherCAT system has been extended with EtherCAT Box modules with protection class IP 67. Through the integrated EtherCAT interface the modules can be connected directly to an EtherCAT network without an additional Coupler Box. The high-performance of EtherCAT is thus maintained into each module. The extremely low dimensions of only 126 x 30 x 26.5 mm (h x w x d) are identical to those of the Fieldbus Box extension modules.

Configuration Configuration via TwinCAT In the left-hand window of the TwinCAT System Manager, click on the branch of the EtherCAT Box you wish to configure (EP2816-0008 in this example). Fig. 45: Branch of the EtherCAT box to be configured In the right-hand window of the TwinCAT System manager, various tabs are now available for configuring the EtherCAT Box.
Configuration EtherCAT tab Fig. 47: EtherCAT tab Type EtherCAT device type Product/Revision Product and revision number of the EtherCAT device Auto Inc Addr. Auto increment address of the EtherCAT device. The auto increment address can be used for addressing each EtherCAT device in the communication ring through its physical position.
Configuration Fig. 48: Process Data tab Sync Manager Lists the configuration of the Sync Manager (SM). If the EtherCAT device has a mailbox, SM0 is used for the mailbox output (MbxOut) and SM1 for the mailbox input (MbxIn). SM2 is used for the output process data (outputs) and SM3 (inputs) for the input process data. If an input is selected, the corresponding PDO assignment is displayed in the PDO Assignment list below.

Configuration Activation of PDO assignment • the EtherCAT slave has to run through the PS status transition cycle (from pre-operational to safe-operational) once (see Online tab [} 62]), • and the System Manager has to reload the EtherCAT slaves ( button) PDO list List of all PDOs supported by this EtherCAT device.
Configuration Fig. 49: Startup tab Column Description Transition Transition to which the request is sent. This can either be • the transition from pre-operational to safe-operational (PS), or • the transition from safe-operational to operational (SO). If the transition is enclosed in "<>" (e.g. <PS>), the mailbox request is fixed and cannot be modified or deleted by the user.

This button attempts to set the EtherCAT device to the operational state. Bootstrap This button attempts to set the EtherCAT device to the Bootstrap state.
Configuration EtherCAT State Machine The state of the EtherCAT slave is controlled via the EtherCAT State Machine (ESM). Depending upon the state, different functions are accessible or executable in the EtherCAT slave. Specific commands must be sent by the EtherCAT master to the device in each state, particularly during the bootup of the slave. A distinction is made between the following states: •...
Page 65
Configuration Mailbox and process data communication is possible in the Safe-Op state, but the slave keeps its outputs in the safe state. However, the input data are cyclically updated. Operational (Op) Before the EtherCAT master switches the EtherCAT slave from Safe-Op to Op it must transfer valid output data.
Configuration CoE interface General description The CoE interface (CANopen over EtherCAT) is used for parameter management of EtherCAT devices. EtherCAT slaves or the EtherCAT master manage fixed (read only) or variable parameters which they require for operation, diagnostics or commissioning. CoE parameters are arranged in a table hierarchy.
Changes in the local CoE list of the terminal are lost if the terminal is replaced. If a terminal is re- placed with a new Beckhoff terminal, it will have the factory settings. It is therefore advisable to link all changes in the CoE list of an EtherCAT slave with the Startup list of the slave, which is pro- cessed whenever the EtherCAT fieldbus is started.
Configuration • If the value is to be stored permanently, enter it in the Startup list. The order of the Startup entries is usually irrelevant. Fig. 55: Startup list in the TwinCAT System Manager The Startup list may already contain values that were configured by the System Manager based on the ESI specifications.

This may take several seconds, depending on the size and cycle time. ◦ the actual identity is displayed ◦ the firmware and hardware version of the equipment according to the electronic information is displayed.

Analogous to pointing devices this is the measuring scale (see IEC 61131) or also the dynamic range. For analog I/O devices from Beckhoff the rule is that the limit with the largest value is chosen as the full scale value of the respective product (also called the reference value) and is given a positive sign. This applies to both symmetrical and asymmetrical measuring spans.
In particular this also applies to SE, even though the term suggest that only one wire is required. • The term "electrical isolation" should be clarified in advance. Beckhoff IO modules feature 1…8 or more analog channels; with regard to the channel connection a distinction is made in terms of: ◦...
Page 73
The property of electrical isolation indicates whether the channels are directly connected to each other. • Beckhoff terminals/boxes always feature electrical isolation between the field/analog side and the bus/ EtherCAT side. In other words, if two analog terminals/boxes are not connected via the power contacts, the modules are effectively electrically isolated.
Page 74
One or two further sensor cables are used for the signal transmission of the current loop: 1. sensor cable: according to the Beckhoff terminology such sensors are to be connected to ‘single- ended’ inputs in 3 cables with +/-/Signal lines and if necessary FE/shield 2.

Configuration 4.6.2 Operation modes The EP31xx supports three different operation modes: • Freerun [} 82] (filter on, timer interrupt) • Synchronous [} 81] (filter off, SyncManager interrupt) and • DC (DC-Sync-Interrupt) Fig. 3: Relationship of operation modes The module switches between the Freerun (filter on) and Synchron modes by activating/deactivating the filter via the index.
Configuration If the frame jitter is too large, it is possible that data may be collected twice or there may be interruptions in the transmission. In that case the jitter is to be reduced through TwinCAT system measures or a slower cycle time is to be chosen.
Configuration IIR filter The filter with IIR characteristics is a discrete time, linear, time invariant filter that can be set to eight levels (level 1 = weak recursive filter, up to level 8 = strong recursive filter) The IIR can be understood to be a moving average value calculation after a low-pass filter. Through the synchronization mode FreeRun the IIR filter operates with an internal cycle time of 180 µs (1 or 2 channels) or 500 µs (4 channels).
Configuration Measuring ranges The following diagrams show the output values of the measuring ranges as well as the behavior when the limits ranges are exceeded.

Configuration 4.10 Calculation of process data The terminal/box constantly records measured values and saves the raw values from its A/D converter in the ADC raw value object 0x80nE:01. The calculation of the correction with the vendor calibration values takes place after each acquisition of the analog signal. This is followed (optionally) by user scaling: = (X ) * A measured value after vendor calibration (corresponds to X...

Fig. 76: Selection of the process data The safety address together with the CRC must be entered on the TwinSAFE SC slave side.
Configuration Object TSC Settings Depending on the terminal, the index designation of the configuration object TSC Settings can vary. Example: - EL3214-0090 and EL3314-0090, TSC Settings, Index 8040 - EL5021-0090, TSC Settings, Index 8010 - EL6224-0090, TSC Settings, Index 800F Fig. 78: Entering the safety address and the CRC TwinSAFE SC connections If several TwinSAFE SC connections are used within a configuration, a different CRC must be se- lected for each TwinSAFE SC connection.

Identification Code (BIC) General In future you will increasingly find machine-readable information on Beckhoff products in the form of a Data Matrix Code (DMC, ECC200). This helps us to improve the quality assurance process, beyond which you can use it for better identification of our products.
Page 146
Article description Quantity An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, item no. 2). The BTN is a unique 8-character serial number that in future will replace all other serial number systems at Beckhoff (e.g. batch designations on IO components, hitherto serial number circle for safety products, etc.). The BTN is likewise being introduced gradually, so it may be the case that the BTN is not yet coded in the BIC.
