1.4 Notes on information security
The products of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG (Beckhoff), insofar as they can be accessed online,
are equipped with security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks. Despite the security functions, the creation, implementation and constant updating of a holistic
security concept for the operation are necessary to protect the respective plant, system, machine and
networks against cyber threats. The products sold by Beckhoff are only part of the overall security concept.
The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access by third parties to its equipment, systems,
machines and networks. The latter should be connected to the corporate network or the Internet only if
appropriate protective measures have been set up.
In addition, the recommendations from Beckhoff regarding appropriate protective measures should be
observed. Further information regarding information security and industrial security can be found in our
https://www.beckhoff.com/secguide.
Beckhoff products and solutions undergo continuous further development. This also applies to security
functions. In light of this continuous further development, Beckhoff expressly recommends that the products
are kept up to date at all times and that updates are installed for the products once they have been made
available. Using outdated or unsupported product versions can increase the risk of cyber threats.

EtherCAT Box - Introduction
EP9300-0022 9Version: 2.3
2 EtherCAT Box - Introduction
The EtherCAT system has been extended with EtherCAT Box modules with protection class IP67. 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.

3.1 Introduction
EP9300-0022 | PROFINET RT EtherCAT Box
The EP9300-0022 EtherCAT Box connects PROFINET RT networks to the EtherCAT Box modules (EPxxxx,
ERxxxx and EQxxxx) and converts the telegrams from PROFINET RT to EtherCAT. One station consists of
an EP9300-0022 and any number of EtherCAT Box modules. The box is connected to PROFINET RT via a
D-coded M12 socket. With EtherCAT, the PROFINET RT box can use the powerful and ultra-fast I/O system
with its large selection of EtherCAT Box modules. The EP9300-0022 supports the PROFINET RT profile and
seamlessly fits into PROFINET RT networks.

NOTE
Dirt during assembly
Dirty connectors can lead to malfunctions. Protection class IP67 can only be guaranteed if all cables and
connectors are connected.
• Protect the plug connectors against dirt during the assembly.
Mount the module with two M4 screws in the centrally located fastening holes.
4.1.3 Functional earth (FE)
The Fixing [}15] also serve as connections for the functional earth (FE).
Make sure that the box is earthed with low impedance via both fastening screws. You can achieve this, for
example, by mounting the box on a grounded machine bed.

4.2.2.3 Topology example
The Profinet network can be set up with a line structure. The following limits should be adhered to:
• Maximum 20 EP9300-0022 in series.
• No switches should be usedin the line.
Fig.7: Topology example
Use of switches without LLDP
Profinet uses the LLDP protocol for the topology recognition. The topology recognition and the as-
sociated Profinet services will not work properly if the switch that you use does not support this. In
addition, this results in increased network traffic, which is multiplied further with each switch port
and connected Profinet device. This can result in communication disruptions and even the aborting
of communication with individual Profinet devices.

Assimilation of color coding for cable ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxxx-xxxx (with
M8 connectors)
For unification, the prevalent cables ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxx-xxxx were changed to the
colors of EN61918 (yellow, orange, white, blue). So different color coding exists. But the electrical
properties are absolutely identical.

4.2.3.3 Cables
For connecting EtherCAT devices only shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least
category5 (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.
