Beckhoff expands EtherCAT and EtherCAT P Box portfolio

Beckhoff has expanded its portfolio of EtherCAT and EtherCAT P Box products with modules that offer additional hexadecimal addressing via built-in rotary selector switches. This means that these machine mountable IP67 I/Os can be clearly and easily addressed regardless of their installation location.

In modular and distributed systems, individual devices must be uniquely addressed within an EtherCAT network with its variable topology. I/O devices with rotary selector switches enable quick and easy assignment of the corresponding addresses. The new EtherCAT Box and EtherCAT P Box modules feature three additional hexadecimal rotary addressing switches. Individual addresses from 0 to 4095 can be set and given a unique, position-independent identification. This is required for some device profiles for certain industries, such as in the semiconductor industry.

Three I/O Box modules are initially planned. Each one is available in a version for EtherCAT (EP) and for the EtherCAT P one cable solution (EPP):
  • EP/EPP1816-0703: 16-channel digital input, 24 V DC, 10 μs, IP20 connector
  • EP/EPP2339-0703: 16-channel digital combi, 24 V DC, 3 ms, 0.5 A, IP20 connector
  • EP/EPP3754-0702: 4-channel analog input, multi-functional, M12
