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.

Product overview Product overview Introduction Fig. 9: Left: EL9505 (identical pin assignment: EL9508, EL9510, EL9512, EL9515) Right: EL9560 Based on the input voltage (24 V ), the EL9505, EL9508, EL9510, EL9512 and EL9515 power supply terminals generate different output voltages, which can be picked up at the terminals. The following EtherCAT Terminals are also supplied with this voltage via the power contacts.

EtherCAT devices from Beckhoff. Recommended cables Suitable cables for the connection of EtherCAT devices can be found on the Beckhoff website! E-Bus supply A bus coupler can supply the EL terminals added to it with the E-bus system voltage of 5 V; a coupler is thereby loadable up to 2 A as a rule (see details in respective device documentation).
Basics communication Fig. 10: System manager current calculation NOTE Malfunction possible! The same ground potential must be used for the E-Bus supply of all EtherCAT terminals in a terminal block! 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.
Basics communication Init After switch-on the EtherCAT slave in the Init state. No mailbox or process data communication is possible. The EtherCAT master initializes sync manager channels 0 and 1 for mailbox communication. Pre-Operational (Pre-Op) During the transition between Init and Pre-Op the EtherCAT slave checks whether the mailbox was initialized correctly.
Basics communication The order is specified in 2 levels via hexadecimal numbering: (main)index, followed by subindex. The value ranges are • Index: 0x0000 …0xFFFF (0...65535 • SubIndex: 0x00…0xFF (0...255 A parameter localized in this way is normally written as 0x8010:07, with preceding "x" to identify the hexadecimal numerical range and a colon between index and subindex.

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 default 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.
Basics communication Fig. 13: 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. Additional application-specific entries can be created. Online/offline list While working with the TwinCAT System Manager, a distinction has to be made whether the EtherCAT device is "available", i.e.
• Channel 1: parameter range 0x8010:00 ... 0x801F:255 • Channel 2: parameter range 0x8020:00 ... 0x802F:255 • ... This is generally written as 0x80n0. Detailed information on the CoE interface can be found in the EtherCAT system documentation on the Beckhoff website. EL95xx Version: 2.2...
• Each assembly must be terminated at the right hand end with an EL9011 or EL9012 bus end cap, to en- sure the protection class and ESD protection. Fig. 16: Spring contacts of the Beckhoff I/O components Installation on mounting rails...
Mounting and wiring Assembly Fig. 17: Attaching on mounting rail The bus coupler and bus terminals are attached to commercially available 35 mm mounting rails (DIN rails according to EN 60715) by applying slight pressure: 1. First attach the fieldbus coupler to the mounting rail. 2.
Mounting and wiring Disassembly Fig. 18: Disassembling of terminal Each terminal is secured by a lock on the mounting rail, which must be released for disassembly: 1. Pull the terminal by its orange-colored lugs approximately 1 cm away from the mounting rail. In doing so for this terminal the mounting rail lock is released automatically and you can pull the terminal out of the bus terminal block easily without excessive force.
Mounting and wiring Fig. 19: Power contact on left side NOTE Possible damage of the device Note that, for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, the PE contacts are capacitatively coupled to the mounting rail. This may lead to incorrect results during insulation testing or to damage on the terminal (e.g. disruptive discharge to the PE line during insulation testing of a consumer with a nominal voltage of 230 V).
Mounting and wiring Installation instructions for enhanced mechanical load capacity WARNING Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!

Mounting and wiring Positioning of passive Terminals Hint for positioning of passive terminals in the bus terminal block EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx / ESxxxx), which do not take an active part in data transfer within the bus terminal block are so called passive terminals. The passive terminals have no current consump- tion out of the E-Bus.
