  • Page 10: Introduction

    Fig. 3: EP6224-3022 IO-Link master The EP6224 IO-Link module enables connection of up to four IO-Link devices, e.g. actuators, sensors or combinations of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device. The terminal is parameterised via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, wherein parameterisation information can be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection.

  • Page 54: General Note On The Introduction Of The Beckhoff Identification Code (Bic)

    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 55 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.
