Notes
The elements mentioned above result in the technical designation. EL3314-0000-0016 is used in the
example below.
EL3314-0000 is the order identifier, in the case of -0000 usually abbreviated to EL3314. -0016 is the
EtherCAT revision.
The order identifier is made up of
- family key (EL, EP, CU, ES, KL, CX, etc.)
- type (3314)
- version (-0000)
The revision -0016 shows the technical progress, such as the extension of features with regard to the
EtherCAT communication, and is managed by Beckhoff.
In principle, a device with a higher revision can replace a device with a lower revision, unless specified
otherwise, e.g. in the documentation.
Associated and synonymous with each revision there is usually a description (ESI, EtherCAT Slave
EL6752
Version: 2.0
Foreword
Information) in the form of an XML file, which is available for download from the Beckhoff website.
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).
The type, version and revision are read as decimal numbers, even if they are technically saved in
hexadecimal.
Identification number
Beckhoff EtherCAT devices from the different lines have different kinds of identification numbers:
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.
Structure of the serial number: KKYYFFHH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week)
YY - year of production
FF - firmware version
HH - hardware version
Example with
Ser. no.: 12063A02: 12 - production week 12 06 - production year 2006 3A - firmware version 3A 02 hardware version 02
Exceptions can occur in the IP67 area, where the following syntax can be used (see respective device
documentation):
Syntax: D ww yy x y z u
D - prefix designation
ww - calendar week
yy - year
x - firmware version of the bus PCB
y - hardware version of the bus PCB
z - firmware version of the I/O PCB
u - hardware version of the I/O PCB
Example: D.22081501 calendar week 22 of the year 2008 firmware version of bus PCB: 1 hardware version
of bus PCB: 5 firmware version of I/O PCB: 0 (no firmware necessary for this PCB) hardware version of I/O

Master and slave terminals for DeviceNet

The master and slave terminals for DeviceNet correspond to the FC5201 PCI card from Beckhoff. Thanks to
the connection via EtherCAT, no PCI slots are required in the PC. Within an EtherCAT terminal network, the
terminal enables the integration of any DeviceNet devices.
The EL6752 is optionally available in a master or slave version and has a powerful protocol implementation
with many features:
All I/O modes of the DeviceNet are supported: polling, change of state, cyclic, strobed
Unconnected message manager (UCMM)
Powerful parameter and diagnostics interfaces
Error management freely configurable for each bus device
A description of all functionalities and operating modes can be found in the chapter "Configuration [}63]"
and the corresponding subsections.

Basic DeviceNet principles
Basic DeviceNet principles
Introduction to the system

DeviceNet is an open system based on CAN. CAN was developed some years ago by R. Bosch for data
transmission in motor vehicles. Millions of CAN chips are now in use. A disadvantage for application in
automation is that CAN does not contain definitions for the application layer. CAN only defines the physical
and data link layer.
DeviceNet specifies a uniform application layer and this makes it possible to use the CAN protocol for
industrial applications. ODVA (the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association) is an independent association which
supports manufacturers and users of the DeviceNet system. ODVA ensures that all devices which conform
to the specification can operate together in one system, regardless of their manufacturer. CANs bit
arbitration procedure makes it theoretically possible to operate communication networks using master/slave
and multimaster access methods.
Further details can be found on the official website of the ODVA (http://www.odva.org).
Fig.9: Example of DeviceNet in use
Bus cable
The bus cable consists of two pairs of shielded twisted-pair wiring, one for the data transfer and one for the
power supply. The latter can carry currents of up to 8 amperes. The maximum possible length of a line
depends essentially on the baud rate. If you choose the highest Baud rate (500 kbaud) you are restricted to
lines of at most 100 m. With the lowest Baud rate (125 kbaud) you will be able to use cable with an overall
length of 500 m. Refer to the chapter "Mounting and wiring [}18]" for details

Mounting and cabling
4.1
Recommended mounting rails
Terminal Modules und EtherCAT Modules of KMxxxx and EMxxxx series, same as the terminals of the
EL66xx and EL67xx series can be snapped onto the following recommended mounting rails:
DIN Rail TH35-7.5 with 1mm material thickness (according to EN60715)
DIN Rail TH35-15 with 1,5mm material thickness
Pay attention to the material thickness of the DIN Rail

Terminal Modules und EtherCAT Modules of KMxxxx and EMxxxx series, same as the terminals of the EL66xx and EL67xx seriesdoes not fit to the DIN Rail TH35-15 with 2,2 to
2,5mm material thickness (according to EN60715)!

The terminal modules are fastened to the assembly surface with the aid of a 35 mm mounting rail (e.g.
mounting rail TH 35-15).
Fixing of mounting rails
Note
The locking mechanism of the terminals and couplers extends to the profile of the mounting
rail. At the installation, the locking mechanism of the components must not come into conflict with the fixing bolts of the mounting rail. To mount the recommended mounting rails under the terminals and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk
screws or blind rivets).
Risk of electric shock and damage of device!

Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation,
disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals!

and press (1) the terminal module against the mounting rail until it latches in place on the mounting
rail (2).
Attach the cables.
Demounting
Remove all the cables. Thanks to the KM/EM connector, it is not necessary to remove all the cables
separately for this, but for each KM/EM connector simply undo 2 screws so that you can pull them off
(fixed wiring)!
Lever the unlatching hook on the left-hand side of the terminal module upwards with a screwdriver (3).
As you do this
an internal mechanism pulls the two latching lugs (3a) from the top hat rail back into the terminal module,

4.4
DeviceNet wiring
4.4.1
CAN / DeviceNet topology
CAN/DeviceNet is a 2-wire bus system, to which all participating devices are connected in parallel (i.e. using
short drop lines) (Fig. DeviceNet Topology). The bus must be terminated at each end with a 120 (or 121)
Ohm terminating resistor to prevent reflections. This is also necessary even if the cable lengths are very
short!
Fig.11: DeviceNet topology

Since the CAN signals are represented on the bus as the difference between the two levels, the CAN leads
are not very sensitive to incoming interference (EMI): Both leads are affected, so the interference has very
little effect on the difference.
18
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Fig.12: Low interference through difference levels
4.4.2
Bus length
The maximum length of a CAN bus is primarily limited by the signal propagation delay. The multi-master bus
access procedure (arbitration) requires signals to reach all the nodes at effectively the same time (before the
sampling within a bit period). Since the signal propagation delays in the CAN connecting equipment
(transceivers, opto-couplers, CAN controllers) are almost constant, the line length must be chosen in
accordance with the baud rate:
Baud rate
500 kbit/s
250 kbit/s
125 kbit/s
4.4.3
Bus length
< 100m
< 250m
< 500m
Drop lines
Drop lines must always be avoided as far as possible, since they inevitably cause reflections. The reflections
caused by drop lines are not however usually critical, provided they have decayed fully before the sampling
time. In the case of the bit timing settings selected in the Bus Couplers it can be assumed that this is the
case, provided the following drop line lengths are not exceeded:
Baud rate
500 kbit/s
250 kbit/s
125 kbit/s
Drop line length

< 6m
< 6m

Total length of all drop lines

< 39m

CAN cable
Screened twisted-pair cables (2x2) with a characteristic impedance of between 108 and 132 Ohm is
recommended for the CAN wiring. If the CAN transceivers reference potential (CAN ground) is not to be
connected, the second pair of conductors can be omitted. (This is only recommended for networks of small
physical size with a common power supply for all the participating devices).
ZB5200 CAN/DeviceNet Cable

The ZB5200 cable material corresponds to the DeviceNet specification, and is also suitable for CANopen
systems. The ready-made ZK1052-xxxx-xxxx bus cables for the Fieldbus Box modules are made from this
cable material. It has the following specification:
2 x 2 x 0.34 mm (AWG 22) twisted pairs
double screened - braided screen with filler strand
characteristic impedance (1 MHz): 126 ohm
Conductor resistance 54 Ohm/km
sheath: grey PVC, outside diameter 7.3 mm
printed with "InterlinkBT DeviceNet Type 572" as well as UL and CSA ratings
stranded wire colours correspond to the DeviceNet specification
UL recognized AWM Type 2476 rating
CSA AWM I/II A/B 80C 300V FT1
corresponds to the DeviceNet "Thin Cable" specification
Fig.14: DeviceNet cable configuration
4.4.6
Shielding
The screen is to be connected over the entire length of the bus cable, and only galvanically grounded at one
point, in order to avoid ground loops.
The design of the screening, in which HF interference is diverted through R/C elements to the mounting rail
assumes that the rail is appropriately earthed and free from interference. If this is not the case, it is possible
that HF interference will be transmitted from the mounting rail to the screen of the bus cable. In that case the
screen should not be attached to the couplers - it should nevertheless still be fully connected through.

Installation positions
Constraints regarding installation position and operating temperature range
Attention
Please refer to the technical data for a terminal to ascertain whether any restrictions regarding the installation position and/or the operating temperature range have been specified. When installing high power dissipation terminals ensure that an adequate spacing is
maintained between other components above and below the terminal in order to guarantee
adequate ventilation!
Optimum installation position (standard)

The optimum installation position requires the mounting rail to be installed horizontally and the connection
surfaces of the EL/KL terminals to face forward (see Fig. Recommended distances for standard installation
position). The terminals are ventilated from below, which enables optimum cooling of the electronics through
convection. "From below" is relative to the acceleration of gravity.

Compliance with the distances shown in Fig. Recommended distances for standard installation position is
recommended.
Other installation positions

All other installation positions are characterized by different spatial arrangement of the mounting rail - see
Fig Other installation positions.
The minimum distances to ambient specified above also apply to these installation positions.

Mounting of Passive Terminals

Hint for mounting passive terminals
Note
EtherCAT Bus 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 consumption out of the E-Bus To ensure an optimal data transfer, you
must not directly string together more than 2 Passive Terminals!

ATEX - Special conditions

Observe the special conditions for the intended use of Beckhoff fieldbus
components in potentially explosive areas (directive 94/9/EU)!
WARNING
Conditions
a) The certified components are to be installed in a suitable housing that guarantees a
protection class of at least IP54 in accordance with EN 60529! The environmental conditions during use are thereby to be taken into account!
b) If the temperatures during rated operation are higher than 70C at the feed-in points of

DeviceNet communication
5.1
DeviceNet - introduction
Fig.20: DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an open system based on CAN. CAN was developed some years ago by R. Bosch for data
transmission in motor vehicles. Millions of CAN chips are now in use. A disadvantage for application in
automation is that CAN does not contain definitions for the application layer. CAN only defines the physical
and data link layer.
DeviceNet specifies a uniform application layer and this makes it possible to use the CAN protocol for
industrial applications. ODVA (the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association) is an independent association which
supports manufacturers and users of the DeviceNet system. ODVA ensures that all devices which conform
to the specification can operate together in one system, regardless of their manufacturer.
Fig.21: Example of DeviceNet in use

DeviceNet is a sensor/actuator bus system. It is internationally standardised (EN50325) and is based on
CAN (Controller Area Network). DeviceNet supports a number of communication types for the input and
output data:
Polling: The master module ("scanner") sends the output data cyclically to the assigned devices and
receives the input data in an answer telegram.
Change-of-State: Telegrams are sent as soon as their contents have changed.
Cyclic : The modules send the data automatically after a cycle time has elapsed.
Strobed: The scanner requests the input data using a broadcast telegram to all the devices.
The DeviceNet devices support all I/O communication types.
The DeviceNet devices are parameterized via acyclical services (explicit messaging).
The effective utilization of the bus bandwidth allows DeviceNet, particularly in Change-of-State mode, to
achieve short system reaction times in spite of the relatively low data rates. The BECKHOFF DeviceNet
devices have a powerful implementation of the protocol. Through active participation in the ODVA's technical
committees, BECKHOFF are contributing to the further development of this bus system, and has in this way
itself gathered profound DeviceNet expertise.
28
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Configuration
The node address is set in the range from 0 to 63 using two decimally coded rotary switches. The data
transfer rate set at the DeviceNet scanner is automatically recognized by the DeviceNet Box (auto baud
rate). "Electronic Data Sheets" (EDS files) for DeviceNet configuration tools are available for download from
the Beckhoff internet site (http://www.beckhoff.de), and on the BECKHOFF product CDs. Special I/O
parameters that are not covered by the DeviceNet standard can be set via the KS2000 software (serial
connection) or via acyclical explicit messages.
Diagnostics
The extensive diagnostic functions of the BECKHOFF DeviceNet devices allow rapid fault localisation. The
diagnostic messages are transmitted over the bus and collated by the master. The status of the network
connection, the device status, the status of the inputs and outputs and of the power supply are displayed by
LEDs.
Data transfer rates

Three data transfer rates from 125 kbaud to 500 kbaud are available for different bus lengths. The effective
utilization of the bus bandwidth allows DeviceNet to achieve short system reaction times at relatively low
data rates.
Topology
DeviceNet is based on a linear topology. The number of devices participating in each network is logically
limited by DeviceNet to 64, but physically the present generation of drivers allows up to 64 nodes in one
network segment. The maximum possible size of the network for any particular data rate is limited by the
signal propagation delay required on the bus medium. For 500kbaud, for instance, the network may extend
100 m, whereas at 125kbaud the network may reach up to 500 m. At low data rates the size of the network
can be increased by repeaters, which also allow the construction of tree structures.
Bus access procedures

CAN utilizes the Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) procedure, i.e. all participating devices have the
same right of access to the bus and may access it as soon as it is free (multi-master bus access). The
exchange of messages is thus not device-oriented but message-oriented. This means that every message is
unambiguously marked with a prioritized identifier. In order to avoid collisions on the bus when messages
are sent by different devices, a bit-wise bus arbitration is carried out at the start of the data transmission. The
bus arbitration assigns bus bandwidth to the messages in the sequence of their priority. At the end of the
arbitration phase only one bus device occupies the bus, collisions are avoided and the bandwidth is optimally
exploited.
Configuration and parameterization

The TwinCAT System Manager allows all the DeviceNet parameters to be set conveniently. An "eds" file
(electronic data sheet) is available on the BECKHOFF website (http://www.beckhoff.de) for the
parameterization of BECKHOFF DeviceNet devices using configuration tools from other manufacturers.

Parameterization and commissioning
6.1
CoE Interface
General description
The CoE interface (CANopen over EtherCAT) is used for parameter management of EtherCAT devices.
EtherCAT slaves or the EtherCAT master manage fixed (read only) or variable parameters which they
require for operation, diagnostics or commissioning.
CoE parameters are arranged in a table hierarchy. In principle, the user has read access via the fieldbus.
The EtherCAT master (TwinCAT System Manager) can access the local CoE lists of the slaves via
EtherCAT in read or write mode, depending on the attributes.
Different CoE parameter types are possible, including string (text), integer numbers, Boolean values or larger
byte fields. They can be used to describe a wide range of features. Examples of such parameters include
manufacturer ID, serial number, process data settings, device name, calibration values for analog
measurement or passwords.
The order is specified in 2 levels via hexadecimal numbering: (main)index, followed by subindex. The value
ranges are
Index: 0x0000 0xFFFF (0...65535dez)
SubIndex: 0x000xFF (0...255dez)
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.
The relevant ranges for EtherCAT fieldbus users are:
0x1000: This is where fixed identity information for the device is stored, including name, manufacturer,
serial number etc., plus information about the current and available process data configurations.
0x8000: This is where the operational and functional parameters for all channels are stored, such as
filter settings or output frequency.
Other important ranges are:
0x4000: In some EtherCAT devices the channel parameters are stored here (as an alternative to the
0x8000 range).
0x6000: Input PDOs ("input" from the perspective of the EtherCAT master)
0x7000: Output PDOs ("output" from the perspective of the EtherCAT master)
Availability
Not every EtherCAT device must have a CoE list. Simple I/O modules without dedicated
processor usually have no variable parameters and therefore no CoE list.
Note
If a device has a CoE list, it is shown in the TwinCAT System Manager as a separate tab with a listing of the
elements:
30
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Fig.22: "CoE Online " tab

The figure above shows the CoE objects available in device "EL2502", ranging from 0x1000 to 0x1600. The
subindices for 0x1018 are expanded.
Data management and function "NoCoeStorage"

Some parameters, particularly the setting parameters of the slave, are configurable and writeable. This can
be done in write or read mode
via the System Manager (Fig. "CoE Online " tab) by clicking
This is useful for commissioning of the system/slaves. Click on the row of the index to be
parameterised and enter a value in the "SetValue" dialog.
from the control system/PLC via ADS, e.g. through blocks from the TcEtherCAT.lib library
This is recommended for modifications while the system is running or if no System Manager or
operating staff are available.
If slave CoE parameters are modified online, Beckhoff devices store any changes in a fail-safe manner in the
EEPROM, i.e. the modified CoE parameters are still available after a restart. The situation may be different
with other manufacturers.
An EEPROM is subject to a limited lifetime with respect to write operations. From typically 100,000 write
operations onwards it can no longer be guaranteed that new (changed) data are reliably saved or are still
readable. This is irrelevant for normal commissioning. However, if CoE parameters are continuously changed
via ADS at machine runtime, it is quite possible for the lifetime limit to be reached. Support for the
NoCoeStorage function, which suppresses the saving of changed CoE values, depends on the firmware
version.

suppresses the saving of changed CoE values, depends on the firmware version.
Please refer to the technical data in this documentation as to whether this applies to the respective device.
If the function is supported: the function is activated by entering the code word
0x12345678 once in CoE 0xF008 and remains active as long as the code word is not
changed. After switching the device on it is then inactive. Changed CoE values are not
saved in the EEPROM and can thus be changed any number of times.
Function is not supported: continuous changing of CoE values is not permissible in view
of the lifetime limit.
Startup list
Note
Changes in the local CoE list of the terminal are lost if the terminal is replaced. If a terminal
is replaced 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 processed whenever the EtherCAT fieldbus is started. In this way a replacement EtherCAT slave can automatically be parameterised with the specifications of the
user.
If EtherCAT slaves are used which are unable to store local CoE values permanently, the
Startup list must be used.
Recommended approach for manual modification of CoE parameters

Make the required change in the System Manager
The values are stored locally in the EtherCAT slave
If the value is to be stored permanently, enter it in the Startup list.
The order of the Startup entries is usually irrelevant.
Fig.23: 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. switched on and linked via EtherCAT and therefore online, or whether a
configuration is created offline without connected slaves.
In both cases a CoE list as shown in Fig. CoE online tab is displayed. The connectivity is shown as offline/
online.
If the slave is offline
The offline list from the ESI file is displayed. In this case modifications are not meaningful or
possible.
The configured status is shown under Identity.
No firmware or hardware version is displayed, since these are features of the physical device.
Offline is shown in red.

If the slave is online
The actual current slave list is read. This may take several seconds, depending on the size
and cycle time.
The actual identity is displayed
The firmware and hardware version of the equipment according to the electronic information is

Online is shown in green.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
33
Fig.25: Online list
Channel-based order
The CoE list is available in EtherCAT devices that usually feature several functionally equivalent channels.
For example, a 4-channel analog 0..10 V input terminal also has 4 logical channels and therefore 4 identical
sets of parameter data for the channels. In order to avoid having to list each channel in the documentation,
the placeholder "n" tends to be used for the individual channel numbers.
In the CoE system 16 indices, each with 255 subindices, are generally sufficient for representing all channel
parameters. The channel-based order is therefore arranged in 16dec/10hex steps. The parameter range
0x8000 exemplifies this:
Channel 0: parameter range 0x8000:00 ... 0x800F: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.

General notes for setting the watchdog
ELxxxx terminals are equipped with a safety feature (watchdog) that switches off the outputs after a
specifiable time e.g. in the event of an interruption of the process data traffic, depending on the device and
settings, e.g. in OFF state.
The EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) in the EL2xxx terminals features 2 watchdogs:
SM watchdog (default: 100 ms)
PDI watchdog (default: 100 ms)
34
Version: 2.0
EL6752
SM watchdog (SyncManager Watchdog)

The SyncManager watchdog is reset after each successful EtherCAT process data communication with the
terminal. If no EtherCAT process data communication takes place with the terminal for longer than the set
and activated SM watchdog time, e.g. in the event of a line interruption, the watchdog is triggered and the
outputs are set to FALSE. The OP state of the terminal is unaffected. The watchdog is only reset after a
successful EtherCAT process data access. Set the monitoring time as described below.
The SyncManager watchdog monitors correct and timely process data communication with the ESC from the
EtherCAT side.
PDI watchdog (Process Data Watchdog)

If no PDI communication with the EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) takes place for longer than the set and
activated PDI watchdog time, this watchdog is triggered.
PDI (Process Data Interface) is the internal interface between the ESC and local processors in the EtherCAT
slave, for example. The PDI watchdog can be used to monitor this communication for failure.
The PDI watchdog monitors correct and timely process data communication with the ESC from the
application side.
The settings of the SM- and PDI-watchdog must be done for each slave separately in the TwinCAT System
Manager.
Fig.26: EtherCAT tab -> Advanced Settings -> Behavior -> Watchdog
Notes:
the multiplier is valid for both watchdogs.
each watchdog has its own timer setting, the outcome of this in summary with the multiplier is a
resulting time.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
35

Important: the multiplier/timer setting is only loaded into the slave at the start up, if the checkbox is
activated.
If the checkbox is not activated, nothing is downloaded and the ESC settings remain unchanged.
Multiplier
Multiplier
Both watchdogs receive their pulses from the local terminal cycle, divided by the watchdog multiplier:
1/25 MHz * (watchdog multiplier + 2) = 100 s (for default setting of 2498 for the multiplier)
The standard setting of 1000 for the SM watchdog corresponds to a release time of 100 ms.
The value in multiplier + 2 corresponds to the number of basic 40 ns ticks representing a watchdog tick.
The multiplier can be modified in order to adjust the watchdog time over a larger range.
Example "Set SM watchdog"

This checkbox enables manual setting of the watchdog times. If the outputs are set and the EtherCAT
communication is interrupted, the SM watchdog is triggered after the set time and the outputs are erased.
This setting can be used for adapting a terminal to a slower EtherCAT master or long cycle times. The
default SM watchdog setting is 100 ms. The setting range is 0..65535. Together with a multiplier with a range
of 1..65535 this covers a watchdog period between 0..~170 seconds.
Calculation
Multiplier = 2498 watchdog base time = 1 / 25MHz * (2498 + 2) = 0.0001seconds = 100s
SM watchdog = 10000 10000 * 100s = 1second watchdog monitoring time
Undefined state possible!
CAUTION
The function for switching off of the SM watchdog via SM watchdog = 0 is only implemented in terminals from version -0016. In previous versions this operating mode should
not be used.
Damage of devices and undefined state possible!
CAUTION
6.3
If the SM watchdog is activated and a value of 0 is entered the watchdog switches off completely. This is the deactivation of the watchdog! Set outputs are NOT set in a safe state, if
the communication is interrupted.
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. Specific commands must be
sent by the EtherCAT master to the device in each state, particularly during the bootup of the slave.
A distinction is made between the following states:
Init
Pre-Operational
Safe-Operational and
Operational
Boot
The regular state of each EtherCAT slave after bootup is the OP state.
36
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Fig.27: States of the EtherCAT State Machine
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.
In Pre-Op state mailbox communication is possible, but not process data communication. The EtherCAT
master initializes the sync manager channels for process data (from sync manager channel 2), the FMMU
channels and, if the slave supports configurable mapping, PDO mapping or the sync manager PDO
assignment. In this state the settings for the process data transfer and perhaps terminal-specific parameters
that may differ from the default settings are also transferred.
Safe-Operational (Safe-Op)
During transition between Pre-Op and Safe-Op the EtherCAT slave checks whether the sync manager
channels for process data communication and, if required, the distributed clocks settings are correct. Before
it acknowledges the change of state, the EtherCAT slave copies current input data into the associated DPRAM areas of the EtherCAT slave controller (ECSC).
In Safe-Op state mailbox and process data communication is possible, although the slave keeps its outputs
in a safe state, while the input data are updated cyclically.
Outputs in SAFEOP state
Note
The default set watchdog [}34] monitoring sets the outputs of the module in a safe state depending on the settings in SAFEOP and OP - e.g. in OFF state. If this is prevented by
deactivation of the watchdog monitoring in the module, the outputs can be switched or set
also in the SAFEOP state.
Operational (Op)
Before the EtherCAT master switches the EtherCAT slave from Safe-Op to Op it must transfer valid output
data.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
37

In the Op state the slave copies the output data of the masters to its outputs. Process data and mailbox
communication is possible.
Boot
In the Boot state the slave firmware can be updated. The Boot state can only be reached via the Init state.
In the Boot state mailbox communication via the file access over EtherCAT (FoE) protocol is possible, but no
other mailbox communication and no process data communication.

TwinCAT System Manager
The TwinCAT System Manager tool is used for the configuration of the EL6752 DeviceNet master/slave
terminal. The System Manager provides a representation of the number of programs of the TwinCat PLC
systems, the configuration of the axis control and of the connected I/O channels as a structure, and
organizes the mapping of the data traffic.
Fig.28: TwinCAT System Manager logo

For applications without TwinCAT PLC or NC, the TwinCAT System Manager Tool configures the
programming interfaces for a wide range of application programs:
ActiveX control (ADS-OCX) for e.g. Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, etc.
DLL interface (ADS-DLL) for e.g. Visual C++ projects
Script interface (ADS script DLL) for e.g. VBScript, JScript, etc.

Polling / Change of State (COS) / Cyclic

The cyclic polling mode is characterized by cyclic polling of the IO data by the master. The change of state
mode is characterized by event-oriented sending of IO data. In cyclic mode the IO data are sent cyclically
based on the communication parameters configured by the master. Since the communication settings are
specified through the master no further settings are possible. Further information on the modes can be found
in section DeviceNet Communication. The settings are identical for these modes.
The input and output data lengths are pre-initialized to 8 byte each:

Bit strobe
The IO mode bit strobe involves an 8-byte command from the master to the slaves. For each possible
address/MAC ID (DeviceNet address space: 64) 1 bit of user data is allocated. The maximum length of the
response message from the slave is 8 bytes. It is sent to the master immediately when the bit strobe
command is received.

Integrating a DeviceNet device with EDS file
If an EDS file is available for the DeviceNet to be integrated, it must be copied into the ..TwinCAT/IO/
DeviceNet directory.
Subsequently the device appears under the "Append Box" selection (see fig. Adding a DeviceNet device (I/O
Devices -> Device n (EL6752) -> right-click -> Append Box ...) with the manufacturer ID:
Fig.49: Adding a box with the manufacturer ID

Alternatively a DeviceNet device with EDS file can be integrated via the "Miscellaneous" option:

Selection of the IO mode and the general configuration must then be carried out manually.
DeviceNet IO modes
For DeviceNet devices the EL6752 supports the DeviceNet modes cyclic polling, change of state / cyclic and
bit strobe. The IO modes can be selected according to the DeviceNet specification.
The DeviceNet IO mode cyclic polling is the default selection for the EL6752:
IO mode
Polling
Change of State
Cyclic
Bit strobe
Total of all IO data
Input data length / bytes

0 - 255
0 - 255
0 - 255
1 bit
max. xxx bytes
Output data length / bytes

0 - 255
0 - 255
0 - 255
0-8
max. xxx bytes
polling / change of state (COS) / cyclic

The cyclic polling mode is characterized by cyclic polling of the IO data by the master. The change of state
mode is characterized by event-oriented sending of IO data. In cyclic mode the IO data are sent cyclically
based on the communication parameters configured by the master. The settings are identical for these
modes.
The input and output data lengths must be supplemented according to the device configuration:
Fig.52: Supplementing the input and output data

Input or output data must be appended depending on the device configuration. Any data type can be
selected:
56
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Fig.53: Add Variables

The data length is converted to a byte stream according to the DeviceNet specification and displayed in the
tab for the corresponding connection:
Fig.54: "Connection" tab showing connection type "Polling" and input and output parameters
Maximum data length

The maximum data length per data direction is 255 bytes.
Note
EL6752
Version: 2.0
57
Bit strobe
The IO mode bit strobe involves an 8-byte command from the master to the slaves. For each possible
address/MAC ID (DeviceNet address space: 64) 1 bit of user data is allocated. The maximum length of the
response message from the slave is 8 bytes. It is sent to the master immediately when the bit strobe
command is received.
After selection of the bit strobe mode the input data must be configured accordingly. Any data type can be
selected (see polling/ COS / cyclic). The data length is converted to a byte stream according to the
DeviceNet specification and displayed in the tab for the bit strobe connection:
Fig.55: "Connection" tab showing connection type "Bit Strobe" and input and output parameters
Maximum data length

The maximum input data length is 8 bytes. The output data length is fixed.
Note
Since the communication settings are specified through the master no further settings are possible.

EtherCAT description
6.7.1
Introduction
The DeviceNet functionality and configuration options can be changed and parameterized depending on the
different EtherCAT states.
EtherCAT states
The EtherCAT states (INIT, PREOP, SAFEOP, OP) have the following meaning according to the fieldbusspecific functions:
EtherCAT state
INIT
PREOP
SAFEOP
OP
Meaning
Fieldbus not running
Load fieldbus configuration
Fieldbus cyclic operation, safe state. Inputs are read, outputs are not written
Fieldbus cyclic operation.Inputs are read, outputs are written
The procedure and the configuration options are described below
6.7.1.1
EL6752 DeviceNet master configuration
The DeviceNet master and the associated DeviceNet slaves are configured in EtherCAT state PREOP. The
DeviceNet master parameters are written via the EtherCAT object 0xF800, the slave parameters are written
via the EtherCAT objects from 0x80n0 [}69], see section EtherCAT Object Description.
The EtherCAT states are mapped to DeviceNet as follows:
Fig.62: EtherCAT states in mapping on EL6752-0000
EL6752
Version: 2.0
63

The EtherCAT PDO mapping (EtherCAT objects 0x16yy, 0x1Ayy) and the PDO assignment (EtherCAT
objects 0x1C12 [}71], 0x1C13 [}72]) can be read once the DeviceNet master parameters and the
DeviceNet slave parameters have been written. The associated process image is then generated.
Once the DeviceNet master parameters have been written via the EtherCAT object 0xF800 [}74], the
DeviceNet master registers itself in the network and carries out the Duplicate MAC ID check.
Starting the fieldbus

During the EtherCAT state transition from PREOP to SAFEOP the DeviceNet master starts the data
communication with the slaves and allocates the configured operating modes. In EtherCAT state SAFEOP
the DeviceNet master is in IDLE mode. During the EtherCAT state transition from SAFEOP to OP the
DeviceNet master switches to RUN mode.
Loading a new configuration

A new DeviceNet configuration can only be loaded through an EtherCAT state transition to IDLE or PREOP.
The DeviceNet master parameters and DeviceNet slave parameters then have to be written again.
6.7.1.2
EL6752-0010 DeviceNet slave configuration
The DeviceNet slaves are configured in EtherCAT state PREOP. The general DeviceNet slave parameters
are written via the EtherCAT object 0xF800 [}79], the slave configuration data, i.e. the communication
features and the IO configuration are written via the EtherCAT object 0x8000 [}75], see section EtherCAT
Object Description.
The EtherCAT states are mapped to DeviceNet as follows:
Fig.63: EtherCAT states in mapping on EL6752-0010
64
Version: 2.0
EL6752

The EtherCAT PDO mapping (EtherCAT objects 0x1600 [}76], 0x1A00 [}76], 0x1A80) and the PDO
assignment (EtherCAT objects 0x1C12 [}77], 0x1C13 [}77]) can be read once the DeviceNet slave
parameters and the DeviceNet slave configuration data have been written. The associated process image is
then generated.
Once the DeviceNet slave parameters have been written via the EtherCAT object 0xF800 [}79], the
DeviceNet slave registers itself in the network and carries out the Duplicate MAC ID check.
Starting the fieldbus

During the EtherCAT state transition from PREOP to SAFEOP the DeviceNet slave starts the data
communication, i.e. it is now ready for communication with a DeviceNet master. In EtherCAT state SAFEOP
the DeviceNet slave is in IDLE mode. During the EtherCAT state transition from SAFEOP to OP the
DeviceNet slave switches to RUN mode.
Loading a new configuration

A new DeviceNet configuration can only be loaded through an EtherCAT state transition to IDLE or PREOP.
The DeviceNet slave parameters and DeviceNet slave configuration data then have to be written again.
6.7.1.3
EL6752-0010 - Changing the DeviceNet address and baud rate using ADS
The DeviceNet address (MACId) and the baud rate of the EL6752-0010 DeviceNet Slave terminal can be set
using an ADS command in addition to the familiar functions as already described in the chapter
Configuration with the TwinCAT System Manager [}43]

After writing the command the terminal must be switched once to INIT and then back to OP. The set data
can be read in the object 0xF800 Index 1 (MAC ID) and Index 2 (baud rate).

Reset
Once the MAC ID and the baud rate have been set using the ADS command, the terminal stores the
information persistently. Once these data have been written, the entries in the objects 0x8000:01, 0xF800:01
and 0xF800:02 are ignored! ! This concerns the start-up commands, which are then ignored by the terminal.

EtherCAT XML Device Description
Note
The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT XML Device Description.
We recommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the Beckhoff
website and installing it according to installation instructions.
Parameterization via the CoE list (CAN over EtherCAT)
Note
The EtherCAT device is parameterized via the CoE - Online tab (double-click on the respective object) or via the Process Data tab (allocation of PDOs). Please note the following
general CoE notes [}30] when using/manipulating the CoE parameters:
- Keep a startup list if components have to be replaced
- Differentiation between online/offline dictionary, existence of current XML description
- use CoE reload for resetting changes
Introduction
The CoE overview contains objects for different intended applications:
Objects required for parameterization during commissioning
Objects for indicating internal settings (may be fixed)
The parameterization and the objects required for normal operation will be presented first of all below. All
further objects that are not needed for the normal application case can be found in the lower section of the
table.

EtherCAT XML Device Description
Note
The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT XML Device Description.
We recommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the Beckhoff
website and installing it according to installation instructions.
Parameterization via the CoE list (CAN over EtherCAT)
Note
The EtherCAT device is parameterized via the CoE - Online tab (double-click on the respective object) or via the Process Data tab (allocation of PDOs). Please note the following
general CoE notes [}30] when using/manipulating the CoE parameters:
- Keep a startup list if components have to be replaced
- Differentiation between online/offline dictionary, existence of current XML description
- use CoE reload for resetting changes
Introduction
The CoE overview contains objects for different intended applications:
Objects required for parameterization during commissioning
Objects for indicating internal settings (may be fixed)
The parameterization and the objects required for normal operation will be presented first of all below. All
further objects that are not needed for the normal application case can be found in the lower section of the
table.

EL6752/-0010 diagnostics
The EL6752/-0010 feature various diagnostic variables that describe the state of the terminal and the
DeviceNet and can be linked in the PLC:
We recommend monitoring the following process data during each cycle:

WcState: if 0, this EtherCAT device does not take part in the process data traffic
Note
State: if 8, the EtherCAT device is not in OP (operational) status
We recommend monitoring the following process data:

Error: if 0, the indicated number of DeviceNet devices has a BoxState not equal zero,
i.e. check which DeviceNet devices are not operating correctly in the bus
Note

DiagFlag: indicates pending diagnostic data
EL6752/-0010 - WC-State
For monitoring the EtherCAT communication the WC state (working counter) of the EL6752/-0010 must be
checked. If the WC state is not equal "0" the EtherCAT communication is disturbed, i.e. data sent to the
slave or the master are no longer transferred correctly and are not valid.

DeviceNet / CAN Trouble Shooting
Error Frames
One sign of errors in the CAN wiring, the address assignment or the setting of the baud rate is an increased
number of error frames: the diagnostic LEDs then show Warning Limit exceeded or Bus-off state entered.
DeviceNet / CAN network analysis
Note
CAN warning limit exceeded, passive error or bus-off state are indicated first of all at the
node that has detected the most errors. These nodes are not necessarily the cause for the
occurrence of error frames! If, for instance, one node contributes unusually heavily to the
bus traffic (e.g. because it is the only one with analog inputs, the data for which triggers
event-driven messages at a high rate), then the probability of its telegrams being damaged
increases. Its error counter will, correspondingly, be the first to reach a critical level.
MAC ID / baud rate setting

Duplicate allocation of node addresses / MAC IDs must be avoided.
Test 1
Check MAC ID. If the DeviceNet communication works at least temporarily and all devices support the
duplicate MAC ID check, the address assignment can also be checked by logging the duplicate MAC ID
check messages when the devices are switched on, although this procedure does not detect incorrect
allocation of node addresses.
Test 2
Check that the same baud rate has been set everywhere.
Testing the DeviceNet/CAN cabling

These tests should not be carried out if the network is active: No communication should take place during
the tests. The following tests should be carried out in the stated sequence, because some of the tests
assume that the previous test was successful. Not all the tests are generally necessary.
Network terminator and signal leads

The nodes should be switched off or the CAN cable unplugged for this test, because the results of the
measurements can otherwise be distorted by the active CAN transceiver.
92
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Fig.74: Wiring diagram for test setup
Test 3
Determine the resistance between CAN high and CAN low - at each device, if necessary.
If the measured value is greater than 65 Ohms, it indicates the absence of a terminating resistor or a break
in a signal lead. If the measured value is less than 50 Ohms, look for a short circuit between the CAN lines,
more than the correct number of terminating resistors, or faulty transceivers.
Test 4
Check for a short circuit between the CAN ground and the signal leads, or between the screen and signal
leads.
Test 5
Remove the earth connection from the CAN ground and screen. Check for a short circuit between the CAN
ground and screen.
Topology
The possible cable length in CAN networks depends heavily on the selected baud rate. CAN will tolerate
short drop lines - although this again depends on the baud rate. The maximum permitted drop line length
should not be exceeded. The length of cable that has been installed is often underestimated - estimates can
even be a factor of 10 less than the actual length. The following test is therefore recommended:
Test 6
Measure the drop line lengths and the total bus length (a rough estimate is not sufficient) and compare the
values with the topology rules (depending on the baud rate).
Screening and earthing

The power supply and the screen should be carefully earthed at the power supply unit, once only and with
low resistance. At all connecting points, branches and so forth the screen of the CAN cable (and possibly the
CAN GND) must also be connected, as well as the signal leads. In the Beckhoff IP20 Bus Couplers, the
screen is grounded for high frequencies via an R/C element.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
93
Test 7
Use a DC ammeter (16 A max.) to measure the current between the power supply ground and the screen at
the end of the network most remote from the power supply unit. An equalization current should be present. If
there is no current, then either the screen is not connected all the way through, or the power supply unit is
not properly earthed. If the power supply unit is somewhere in the middle of the network, the measurement
should be performed at both ends. When appropriate, this test can also be carried out at the ends of the drop
line.
Test 8
Interrupt the screen at a number of locations and measure the connection current. If current is flowing, the
screen is earthed at more than one place, creating a ground loop.
Potential differences
The screen must be connected all the way through for this test, and must not be carrying any current - this
has previously been tested.
Test 9
Measure and record the voltage between the screen and the power supply ground at each node. The
maximum potential difference between any two devices should be less than 5 volts.
Detect and localize faults

The "low-tech approach" rule is the best localisation method: disconnect parts of the network, and observe
when the fault disappears.
But: the approach based on this method is inadequate in the event of problems such as excessive potential
differences, ground loops, EMC and signal corruption, since in many cases making the network smaller
solves the problem notwithstanding the fact that the "missing" component may not have caused it. The bus
load also changes as the network is reduced in size, which can mean that external interference "hits" CAN
telegrams less often.
Diagnosis with an oscilloscope is not usually successful: even when they are in good condition, CAN signals
can look really chaotic. It may be possible to trigger on error frames using a storage oscilloscope - this type
of diagnosis, however, is only possible for expert technicians.
Protocol problems
In rare cases, protocol problems (e.g. faulty or incomplete DeviceNet implementation, unfavorable timing at
boot up, etc.) can be the cause of faults. In this case it is necessary to trace the bus traffic for evaluation by
DeviceNet experts - the Beckhoff support team [}108] can help here.
A free channel on a Beckhoff FC5102 CANopen PCI card is appropriate for such a trace - Beckhoff make the
necessary trace software available on the internet. Alternatively, it is of course possible to use a normal
commercial CAN analysis tool.

Firmware Update EL/ES/EM/EPxxxx
This section describes the device update for Beckhoff EtherCAT slaves from the EL/ES, EM, EK and EP
series. A firmware update should only be carried out after consultation with Beckhoff support.
Storage locations
An EtherCAT slave stores operating data in up to 3 locations:
Depending on functionality and performance EtherCAT slaves have one or several local controllers for
processing I/O data. The corresponding program is the so-called firmware in *.efw format.
In some EtherCAT slaves the EtherCAT communication may also be integrated in these controllers. In
this case the controller is usually a so-called FPGA chip with *.rbf firmware.
In addition, each EtherCAT slave has a memory chip, a so-called ESI-EEPROM, for storing its own
device description (ESI: EtherCAT Slave Information). On power-up this description is loaded and the
EtherCAT communication is set up accordingly. The device description is available from the download
area of the Beckhoff website at (http://www.beckhoff.de). All ESI files are accessible there as zip files.
Customers can access the data via the EtherCAT fieldbus and its communication mechanisms. Acyclic
mailbox communication or register access to the ESC is used for updating or reading of these data.
The TwinCAT System Manager offers mechanisms for programming all 3 parts with new data, if the slave is
set up for this purpose. Generally the slave does not check whether the new data are suitable, i.e. it may no
longer be able to operate if the data are unsuitable.
Simplified update by bundle firmware

The update using so-called bundle firmware is more convenient: in this case the controller firmware and the
ESI description are combined in a *.efw file; during the update both the firmware and the ESI are changed in
the terminal. For this to happen it is necessary
for the firmware to be in a packed format: recognizable by the file name, which also contains the
revision number, e.g. ELxxxx-xxxx_REV0016_SW01.efw
for password=1 to be entered in the download dialog. If password=0 (default setting) only the firmware
update is carried out, without an ESI update.
for the device to support this function. The function usually cannot be retrofitted; it is a component of
many new developments from year of manufacture 2016.
Following the update, its success should be verified
ESI/Revision: e.g. by means of an online scan in TwinCAT ConfigMode/FreeRun this is a convenient
way to determine the revision
Firmware: e.g. by looking in the online CoE of the device

Note the following when downloading new device files
Attention
Firmware downloads to an EtherCAT device must not be interrupted

Flawless EtherCAT communication must be ensured. CRC errors or LostFrames must be
avoided.
The power supply must adequately dimensioned. The signal level must meet the specification.
In the event of malfunctions during the update process the EtherCAT device may become
unusable and require re-commissioning by the manufacturer.

a unique identifier consisting of slave name (9 characters/digits) and a revision number (4 digits). Each slave
configured in the System Manager shows its identifier in the EtherCAT tab:
Fig.75: Device identifier consisting of name EL3204-0000 and revision -0016

The configured identifier must be compatible with the actual device description used as hardware, i.e. the
description which the slave has loaded on start-up (in this case EL3204). Normally the configured revision
must be the same or lower than that actually present in the terminal network.
For further information on this, please refer to the EtherCAT system documentation.
Update of XML/ESI description
Note
The device revision is closely linked to the firmware and hardware used. Incompatible combinations lead to malfunctions or even final shutdown of the device. Corresponding updates
should only be carried out in consultation with Beckhoff support.
Display of ESI slave identifier

The simplest way to ascertain compliance of configured and actual device description is to scan the
EtherCAT boxes in TwinCAT mode Config/FreeRun:
98
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Appendix
Fig.76: Scan the subordinate field by right-clicking on the EtherCAT device in Config/FreeRun mode
If the found field matches the configured field, the display shows
Fig.77: Configuration is identical

otherwise a change dialog appears for entering the actual data in the configuration.
Fig.78: Change dialog

In this example in Fig. "Change dialog", an EL3201-0000-0017 was found, while an EL3201-0000-0016 was
configured. In this case the configuration can be adapted with the Copy Before button. The Extended
Information checkbox must be set in order to display the revision.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
99
Appendix
Changing the ESI slave identifier

The ESI/EEPROM identifier can be updated as follows under TwinCAT:
Trouble-free EtherCAT communication must be established with the slave.
The state of the slave is irrelevant.
Right-clicking on the slave in the online display opens the EEPROM Update dialog, Fig. "EEPROM
Update"
Fig.79: EEPROM Update

The new ESI description is selected in the following dialog, see Fig. "Selecting the new ESI". The checkbox
Show Hidden Devices also displays older, normally hidden versions of a slave.
Fig.80: Selecting the new ESI

A progress bar in the System Manager shows the progress. Data are first written, then verified.
The change only takes effect after a restart.
Note
100
Most EtherCAT devices read a modified ESI description immediately or after startup from
the INIT. Some communication settings such as distributed clocks are only read during
power-on. The EtherCAT slave therefore has to be switched off briefly in order for the
change to take effect.
Version: 2.0
EL6752
Appendix
Determining the firmware version

Determining the version on laser inscription
Beckhoff EtherCAT slaves feature serial numbers applied by laser. The serial number has the following
structure: KK YY FF HH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week)
YY - year of production
FF - firmware version
HH - hardware version
Example with ser. no.: 12 10 03 02:
12 - week of production 12
10 - year of production 2010
03 - firmware version 03
02 - hardware version 02
Determining the version via the System Manager

The TwinCAT System Manager shows the version of the controller firmware if the master can access the
slave online. Click on the E-Bus Terminal whose controller firmware you want to check (in the example
terminal 2 (EL3204)) and select the tab CoE Online (CAN over EtherCAT).
CoE Online and Offline CoE
Note
Two CoE directories are available:

online: This is offered in the EtherCAT slave by the controller, if the EtherCAT slave does
supported it. This CoE directory can only be displayed if a slave is connected and operational.
offline: The EtherCAT Slave Information ESI/XML may contain the default content of the
CoE. This CoE directory can only be displayed if it is included in the ESI (e.g. "Beckhoff
EL5xxx.xml").
The Advanced button must be used for switching between the two views.
In Fig. Display of EL3204 firmware version the firmware version of the selected EL3204 is shown as 03 in
CoE entry 0x100A.
Fig.81: Display of EL3204 firmware version

In (A) TwinCAT 2.11 shows that the Online CoE directory is currently displayed. If this is not the case, the
Online directory can be loaded via the Online option in Advanced Settings (B) and double-clicking on
AllObjects.
EL6752
Version: 2.0
101
Appendix
Updating controller firmware *.efw

CoE directory
The Online CoE directory is managed by the controller and stored in a dedicated EEPROM,
which is generally not changed during a firmware update.
Note
Switch to the Online tab to update the controller firmware of a slave, see Fig. "Firmware Update".
Fig.82: Firmware Update

Proceed as follows, unless instructed otherwise by Beckhoff support.
Switch slave to INIT (A)
Switch slave to BOOTSTRAP
Check the current status (B, C)
Download the new *efw file
After the download switch to INIT, then OP
Switch off the slave briefly
FPGA firmware *.rbf

If an FPGA chip deals with the EtherCAT communication an update may be accomplished via an *.rbf file.
Controller firmware for processing I/O signals
FPGA firmware for EtherCAT communication (only for terminals with FPGA)
The firmware version number included in the terminal serial number contains both firmware components. If
one of these firmware components is modified this version number is updated.
Determining the version via the System Manager

The TwinCAT System Manager indicates the FPGA firmware version. Click on the Ethernet card of your
EtherCAT strand (Device 2 in the example) and select the Online tab.
The Reg:0002 column indicates the firmware version of the individual EtherCAT devices in hexadecimal and
decimal representation.
102
Version: 2.0

If the column Reg:0002 is not displayed, right-click the table header and select Properties in the context
menu.
Fig.84: Context menu Properties

The Advanced Settings dialog appears where the columns to be displayed can be selected. Under
Diagnosis/Online View select the '0002 ETxxxx Build' check box in order to activate the FPGA firmware
version display.

Appendix
Fig.88: Select file

Select the file (*.rbf) with the new FPGA firmware, and transfer it to the EtherCAT device.
Attention
A firmware download to an EtherCAT device must never be interrupted! If this process is

cancelled, the supply voltage switched off or the Ethernet connection interrupted, the EtherCAT device can only be recommissioned by the manufacturer!
In order to activate the new FPGA firmware a restart (switching the power supply off and on again) of the
EtherCAT device is required.
Simultaneous updating of several EtherCAT devices

The firmware and ESI descriptions of several devices can be updated simultaneously, provided the devices
have the same firmware file/ESI.
Fig.89: Multiple selection and firmware update

Select the required slaves and carry out the firmware update in BOOTSTRAP mode as described above.
