Foreword Marking of EtherCAT plug-in modules Designation A Beckhoff EtherCAT device has a 14-digit technical designation, made up as follows (e.g. EJ1008-0000-0017) • Order identifier ◦ family key: EJ ◦ product designation: The first digit of product designation is used for assignment to a product group (e.g.
Page 10
Associated and synonymous with each revision there is usually a description (ESI, EtherCAT Slave Information) in the form of an XML file, which is available for download from the Beckhoff web site. • The product designation, version and revision are read as decimal numbers, even if they are technically saved in hexadecimal.
1.7.1 Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) The Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) is increasingly being applied to Beckhoff products to uniquely identify the product. The BIC is represented as a Data Matrix Code (DMC, code scheme ECC200), the content is based on the ANSI standard MH10.8.2-2016.
Page 12
Fig. 4: Example DMC 1P072222SBTNk4p562d71KEL1809 Q1 51S678294 An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, item no. 2). The BTN is a unique serial number consisting of eight characters that will replace all other serial number systems at Beckhoff in the long term (e.g.
Electronic access to the BIC (eBIC) Electronic BIC (eBIC) The Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) is applied to the outside of Beckhoff products in a visible place. If possible, it should also be electronically readable. Decisive for the electronic readout is the interface via which the product can be electronically addressed.

Coded components reduce the unit costs and the risk of miswiring. Beckhoff offers development of signal distribution boards as an engineering service. Customers have the option to develop their own signal distribution board, based on the design guide.
The active communication channel operates independently of the higher-level EtherCAT system in full duplex mode with 300 baud up to 256 kbaud. In conjunction with the TwinCAT Virtual Serial COM Driver the EJ6002 can be used as a normal Windows COM interface.
