• Beckhoff Traceability Number, or BTN for short (as a serial number it clearly identifies each module) Date code The date code is an eight-digit number given by Beckhoff and printed on the EPX module. The date code indicates the build version in the delivery state and thus identifies an entire production batch but does not distinguish between the modules in a batch.
