Marking of EtherCAT plug-in modules

Designation

A Beckhoff EtherCAT device has a 14-digit technical designation, made up as follows (e.g. EJ1008-0000-0017)

The Order identifier and the revision number are printed on the side of EtherCAT plug-in modules (s. following illustration (A and B).

Notes

Serial number

The serial number for EtherCAT plug-in modules is usually the 8-digit number printed on the side of the module (see following illustration C). 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.
