Firm and hardware version

The documentation refers to the firm and hardware status that was valid at the time it was prepared.

The properties of the modules are subject to continuous development and improvement. Modules having earlier production statuses cannot have the same properties as modules with the latest status. Existing properties, however, are always retained and are not changed, so that these modules can always be replaced by new ones.

The firmware and hardware version (delivery state) can be found in the batch number (D number) printed at the side of the EtherCAT Box.

Syntax of the batch number (D number)

D: WW YY FF HH

Example with D No. 29 10 02 01:

WW - week of production (calendar week)

29 - week of production 29

YY - year of production

10 - year of production 2010

FF - firmware version

02 - firmware version 02

HH - hardware version

01 - hardware version 01
