Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EPP6002-0002 is a 2-channel serial interface EtherCAT P Box designed to integrate serial end devices directly into an EtherCAT P network. This compact and rugged module enables the direct connection of devices utilizing RS232, RS485, or RS422 interfaces, making it highly versatile for distributed data transmission in decentralized industrial automation environments.

By employing EtherCAT P technology, the BECKHOFF EPP6002-0002 combines high-speed communication and power supply (both system/sensor supply Us and peripheral voltage Up for actuators) into a single, standardized 4-wire cable. This design minimizes cabling complexity, reduces installation footprints, and eliminates the need for separate local power supplies for connected serial devices.

Features

  • Two independent serial channels with individually selectable interfaces for RS232, RS422, or RS485.
  • Direct EtherCAT P interface using two shielded, P-coded M8 screw-type connectors.
  • Integrated data buffering with an 864-byte receive buffer and a 128-byte transmit buffer per channel.
  • Configurable data transfer rates ranging from 300 to 115,200 baud, with 9600 baud preset out of the box.
  • Onboard auxiliary sensor supply providing +5 V DC at 20 mA per channel to power connected serial peripherals.
  • Rugged polyamide housing featuring IP65, IP66, and IP67 ingress protection for direct machine mounting without a control cabinet.

Applications

  • Decentralized integration of serial barcode scanners, barcode readers, and RFID systems.
  • Direct connection of industrial weighing scales, laboratory balances, and measurement sensors.
  • Interfacing with serial displays, operator panels, and legacy drive controllers.
  • Distributed serial data acquisition across long distances in harsh environmental conditions.

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure the entire industrial network is de-energized before mounting or servicing the system.
  2. Mount the module directly to the machine frame or mounting plate using two M3 screws through the 3.5 mm fixing holes.
  3. Connect the EtherCAT P network lines using only shielded, P-coded M8 connectors to prevent alignment and voltage issues.
  4. Verify that the serial devices are wired correctly according to their interface type (RS232, RS422, or RS485) into the A-coded M12 ports.
  5. Tighten all cable connections to the specified torque to guarantee full IP65/66/67 ingress protection. Install sealing caps on any unused ports.
