Continuous transmission of data A continuous data stream is indispensable for many applications. For this purpose, the Beckhoff modules feature the "Enable send FIFO data continuous" setting in the Settings object. The internal transmit buffer (128 bytes) of the box can be filled first by setting this switch. After that the entire contents of the buffer can be transmitted without interruption.

1. The module indicates that there is new data in the process image by changing the state of the "Re- ceive request" bit. 2. The number of bytes received is written in "Input length" 3. The controller acknowledges acceptance of the bytes by changing the state of “Receive request”. EP6001-0002 Version: 1.0...

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 58
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.
