Virtual Serial COM Driver | IP 67-rated solutions

This application example describes how an EP6002 EtherCAT Box can act as a serial interface in a harsh

industrial environment (IP 65/67) using the TwinCAT Virtual Serial COM Driver supplement. This facilitates

the positioning of a serial terminal device much further away from the controller than with a cable-based

physical layer (RS232/RS422/RS485). The EP6002 EtherCAT Box from Beckhoff enables integration of external

devices with a serial interface, such as barcode or RFID readers, directly in the ﬁeld without a control

cabinet.

The IP 67 I/O system from Beckhoff

The Beckhoff EtherCAT Box line delivers EtherCAT I/O technology without requiring a control cabinet. All modules from the IP

67 series have an integrated direct EtherCAT interface, so that the protocol’s high performance is retained right down to each

module. This opens up new options in the IP-67 world: fast process data communication with eXtreme Fast Control (XFC), high-

precision measurement technology and drive functions integrated into I/O solutions directly in the ﬁeld. With dimensions of

only 126 x 30/60 x 26.5 mm (H x W x D) the modules are exceptionally small and are therefore particularly suitable for

applications where available space is limited.
