EtherCAT I/O system. Data transfer takes place via EtherCAT. The EP6070-0060 license key module is equipped with a local data memory for easy handling of TwinCAT 3.1 licensing. This data memory is used to store the TwinCAT 3.1 license files, is not freely accessible and is managed by TwinCAT 3.1.
The devices have undergone the following additional tests: Test Explanation Vibration 10 frequency sweeps in 3 axes 5 Hz < f < 60 Hz displacement 0.35 mm, constant amplitude 60.1 Hz < f < 500 Hz acceleration 5 g, constant amplitude Shocks 1000 shocks in each direction, in 3 axes 35 g, 11 ms EP6070-0060 Version: 1.0...
The EP6070-0060 has a local memory so that one or more LicenseResponseFiles can be stored and transported on the TwinCAT 3 license dongle. Please note that, as an EtherCAT master, TwinCAT checks the complete name of the EtherCAT device during startup, i.e.

Make sure that the box is grounded to low impedance via the functional earth (FE) connection. You can achieve this, for example, by mounting the box on a grounded machine bed. Tightening torques for plug connectors Screw M8 connectors tight with a torque wrench. (e.g. ZB8801 from Beckhoff) Torque: 0.4 Nm. EP6070-0060...
For standardization, the core colors of the ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxx-xxxx cables have been changed to the EN61918 core colors: yellow, orange, white, blue. So there are different color codes in circulation. The electrical properties of the cables have been retained when the core colors were changed. Version: 1.0 EP6070-0060...
(CAT5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used. EtherCAT uses four wires for signal transmission. Thanks to automatic line detection ("Auto MDI-X"), both symmetrical (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between Beckhoff EtherCAT.

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. From 2014/01 the revision is shown on the outside of the IP20 terminals, see Fig. “EL5021 EL terminal, standard IP20 IO device with batch number and revision ID (since 2014/01)”.
Version identification of IP67 modules The serial number/ data code 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.
6.3.3 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.

Fig. 9: Example DMC 1P072222SBTNk4p562d71KEL1809 Q1 51S678294 An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, position 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.
