Foreword

EP5xxx10 Version: 2.3.0

The module features are continuously improved and developed further. Modules having earlier production

statuses cannot have the same properties as modules with the latest status. However, existing properties

are retained and are not changed, so that older modules can always be replaced with new ones.

The firmware and hardware version (delivery state) can be found in the batch number (D-number) printed on

the side of the EtherCATBox.

Syntax of the batch number (D-number)

2 Product overview

2.1 EtherCAT Box - Introduction

The EtherCAT system has been extended with EtherCAT Box modules with protection class IP67. Through

the integrated EtherCAT interface the modules can be connected directly to an EtherCAT network without an

additional Coupler Box. The high-performance of EtherCAT is thus maintained into each module.

The extremely low dimensions of only 126x30x26.5 mm (hxw xd) are identical to those of the Fieldbus

Box extension modules. They are thus particularly suitable for use where space is at a premium. The small

mass of the EtherCAT modules facilitates applications with mobile I/O interface (e.g. on a robot arm). The

EtherCAT connection is established via screened M8connectors.

Fig.1: EtherCAT Box Modules within an EtherCAT network

The robust design of the EtherCAT Box modules enables them to be used directly at the machine. Control

cabinets and terminal boxes are now no longer required. The modules are fully sealed and therefore ideally

prepared for wet, dirty or dusty conditions.

Pre-assembled cables significantly simplify EtherCAT and signal wiring. Very few wiring errors are made, so

that commissioning is optimized. In addition to pre-assembled EtherCAT, power and sensor cables, field-

configurable connectors and cables are available for maximum flexibility. Depending on the application, the

sensors and actuators are connected through M8 or M12connectors.

The EtherCAT modules cover the typical range of requirements for I/O signals with protection class IP67:

• digital inputs with different filters (3.0ms or 10μs)

• digital outputs with 0.5 or 2A output current

• analog inputs and outputs with 16bit resolution

• Thermocouple and RTD inputs

• Stepper motor modules

XFC (eXtreme Fast Control Technology) modules, including inputs with time stamp, are also available.

EP5001-0002 SSI encoder interface

The EP5001-0002 EtherCAT Box is an interface for direct connection of an SSI encoder with differential

inputs (RS422). The interface circuit generates a pulse for reading the encoder, and makes the incoming

data stream available to the controller as a data word in the process image. Various operating modes,

transmission frequencies and bit widths can be permanently stored in a control register. The encoder is

connected via an 8-pin M12 socket.

2.4.1 EP5101-x0xx - Introduction

EP5101-x0xx | Incremental encoder interface with differential inputs

The EtherCAT Box EP5101-x0xx is an interface for direct connection of incremental encoders with

differential inputs (RS422). A 32/16-bit counter with quadrature decoder as well as a 32/16-bit latch for the

zero pulse can be read, set or activated. Incremental encoders with a fault message output can be

connected to the status input of the interface. A period measurement with a resolution of up to 100ns is

possible. The gate input allows the counter to be disabled; the latch input accepts the counter reading on the

rising edge. The EP5101-1002 has a 24V

DC

sensor supply.

Due to the optional interpolating micro-increment function, the EP5101 can supply even more precise axis

positions for dynamic axes. In addition to that it supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value

together with other input data in the EtherCAT system via high precision EtherCAT Distributed Clocks (DC).

Product overview

EP5xxx 17Version: 2.3.0

The encoder is connected via an 8-pin M12 socket (EP5101-0002 and EP5101-1002) or via a 15-pin D-sub

socket (EP5101-0011 and EP5101-2011). In the M12 version not all signals are available.
