EtherCAT: ESI file, integration and process data

This is how you integrate the EC5R into your EtherCAT master: install the ESI file, set DIP switch 0 for standard or alarm, connect the module to IN, scan. You do not need an IP address or a device name. Below are all channels of your model with their object, plus the startup parameters.

Tested in the manual
TwinCAT 3
  • One ESI file for all EC5R models, with one type per model for the standard version and one for the alarm version. During the scan the master detects model and version by itself.
  • Cable from the master to IN (upper socket), the next device to OUT.

Which ESI file?

The ZIP “EC5R_Ethercat_XML” under Downloads contains EcatTerminal-EC5R_V1.0.4_ENUM.xml. The manual still gives V1.00 – use the file from the ZIP.

It contains two types per model: without suffix (revision 1, standard version) and “…-Alarm” (revision 2) with the additional alarm word. Which one applies is set by DIP switch 0 on the module.

The file also contains types we do not carry (A models with NPN outputs, EC5RA); they do no harm.

Adding it to your master

TwinCAT 3 (example in the manual)
  1. Copy the ESI file to C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT and restart TwinCAT.
  2. Start TwinCAT XAE and create a “New TwinCAT Project”.
  3. Right-click I/O → Devices → Scan, select the network card, confirm “Scan for boxes” and “Activate Free Run” with Yes.
  4. The module appears as a box; “Online” shows OP, and RUN on the module lights steadily.
  5. Parameters: box → Startup → New → expand index 8000:0, set the filter and output behavior, OK. Then Reload and switch the module off and on again.
  6. Testing: watch the inputs under “Digital Inputs” or “Digital Inputs/Outputs”, set a channel under “Digital Outputs” with “Online Write 1”. In the alarm version, “Diagnosis Information” shows the alarm code.
CODESYS, Omron Sysmac Studio and other masters
  1. The manual only describes TwinCAT. Other masters integrate the EC5R the same way via the ESI file: install the file in the device library, scan the master, set the startup parameters.
  2. With Omron Sysmac Studio each module additionally needs a node address (Write Slave Node Address, then switch the module off and on again) – general Sysmac procedure, not in the EC5R manual.

Alarm codes

TwinCAT shows protocol alarms in the “Error List” window (standard version). In the alarm version, the code is additionally in object 0x6000:01 “Alarm” of the process data.

0x200x1042Channel automatically detected as input, but the corresponding output address is set

Codes as per manual chap. 7.2.1 and 7.2.2; pairing a process data code with a protocol alarm in one row is based on the same meaning.

The process data codes are powers of two; that several simultaneous errors appear as their sum is derived.

With 0x8000:01 = 1 (Protocol Layer Alarm switch off), the protocol alarms are disabled.

First steps with the Solidot EC5R

The EC5R brings 32 digital channels into EtherCAT: three spring-cage terminals per channel for signal, 24 V and 0 V, two RJ45 sockets IN and OUT, diagnostics and alarms. This guide applies to the EC5R-3200, -1616B, -1616B+ and -0032B. It takes you from mounting to the first signal in the EtherCAT master: supply, wiring, DIP switches, ESI file, scan and test.

Before connecting

  • Mount and remove only with the power off (manual chap. 5.1).

  • Protection class IP20: the module belongs in a control cabinet.

  • Set up the system supply (terminal 0/1) and the field supply (terminal 3/4) separately and do not mix them.

  • Ground PE at terminal 7 securely. Use copper wires only, rated for 80 °C (manual chap. 6).

  1. 1Mounting: DIN rail or wallRequired

    The module measures 182 × 57 × 34 mm including the mounting ears (housing 160 mm wide), weighs about 210 g and is mounted vertically – leave at least 50 mm of space above and below the module. Operating temperature −20 to +60 °C.

    On the DIN rail: pull the clip at the bottom of the back outwards, hook the module on at the top, press it onto the rail and push the clip up until it clicks.

    On the wall: push the mounting ears on the left and right outwards until they click into place, and screw the module on through the holes (⌀ 4.3 mm, spacing 169 mm). You find the drilling template in the “Dimensions & mounting” tab.

    Source: Manual chap. 3.1, 5

  2. 2Connect system and field supplyRequired

    The 8-pole connector at the top left carries both supplies: system supply 24 V DC to terminal 0 (24V) and 1 (0V), field supply to terminal 3 (IO+) and 4 (IO−). Terminals 2 and 5 are the second terminal of IO+ and IO− respectively, terminal 7 is PE.

    The field supply powers all inputs and outputs: the 24 V and 0 V terminals of each channel are connected internally to IO+ and IO−. Permissible range is 20.4–28.8 V, max. 8 A per group.

    Supply connector

    TerminalMarkingFunction

    6COM or NCInput reference on EC5R-3200 and -1616B, otherwise not used
    7PEEarth

    The supply terminals only take 0.2–0.75 mm². With a high output load (up to 6 A per 16 channels), plan the cross-section and fusing accordingly – the manual gives no recommendation for this.

    If the field supply is missing, the module reports the alarm “Load-side voltage not connected” (protocol alarm 0x00C5, code 0x01 in the alarm version).

    Source: Manual chap. 3.2–3.4, 6.1, 6.3

  3. 3Connect sensors and loadsRequired

    Each channel has three spring-cage terminals one above the other: 1 signal, 2 24 V (NC on pure outputs), 3 0 V. This way a 3-wire sensor connects entirely to its own channel: BK to 1, BN to 2, BU to 3. A load goes between 1 and 3.

    Strip 9–10 mm of insulation, press the button with a flat-blade screwdriver up to 3 mm wide and insert the wire. Cross-section 0.3–1.5 mm².

    EC5R-3200 and -1616B: the inputs are NPN/PNP compatible, the reference is COM (supply terminal 6). For PNP sensors connect COM to 0 V, for NPN sensors to +24 V. EC5R-1616B+: inputs PNP only.

    Outputs: PNP, max. 0.5 A per channel, short-circuit proof with automatic recovery. Load resistive, inductive or lamp.

    Source: Manual chap. 3.2–3.4, 6.1–6.3

  4. 4Set the DIP switchesRequired

    DIP switch 0 selects the version: 0 = standard, 1 = alarm version with an additional alarm word (object 0x6000) in the process data. During the scan the master detects the matching version by itself.

    EC5R-1616B+ only: DIP 1 = 0 means DIP 2–5 each set four channels of the bottom row as input or output (0 = output, 1 = input). DIP 1 = 1 means the module detects from the wiring itself whether a channel is an input or an output.

    After every change, switch the module off and on again.

    The manual does not state the factory setting of the switches – check them before switching on for the first time.

    DIP table in the EtherCAT tab

    Source: Manual chap. 4.3

  5. 5Have the ESI file readyRequired

    Your EtherCAT master only knows the EC5R once it has its device description (ESI). The ZIP “EC5R_Ethercat_XML” under Downloads contains one file for all models: EcatTerminal-EC5R_V1.0.4_ENUM.xml. The manual still gives V1.00 – use the file from the ZIP.

    For each model it contains one type for the standard version and one for the alarm version.

    The product code and the objects for your model are listed in the EtherCAT tab.

    ESI type for my model

    Source: Manual chap. 7.3.1, steps 1–2; ESI V1.0.4

  6. 6Integrate the module in the master (TwinCAT 3)Required

    Plug the cable from the master into IN (upper socket). You do not need an IP address or a device name: the master finds the module during the scan by its position in the line.

    The manual shows the integration with TwinCAT 3 using the EC5R-1616A+-Alarm as an example. Other masters (CODESYS, Omron Sysmac Studio) work the same way with the ESI file.

    TwinCAT 3

    1. Copy the ESI file to C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT and restart TwinCAT.

    2. Open TwinCAT XAE and create a “New TwinCAT Project”.

    3. Right-click I/O → Devices → Scan and select the network card connected to the module.

    4. Confirm “Scan for boxes” and “Activate Free Run” with Yes each.

    Success: “Online” shows OP, and RUN on the module lights steadily. If RUN flashes at 2.5 Hz, the module is in Pre-OP; a single flash means Safe-OP.

    Source: Manual chap. 4.2, 7.3.1 steps 2–4

  7. 7Test inputs and outputsRequired

    Each channel is a separate BOOL: inputs in object 0x6001 (“Channel In 00” …), outputs in object 0x7000 (“Channel Out 00” …). On the EC5R-1616B+ the configurable channels appear as “Channel In/Out 00” – as input in 0x6002, as output in 0x7000.

    Check in TwinCAT

    1. Switch a sensor on channel 00: under “Digital Inputs”, “Channel In 00” changes and the channel LED lights green.

    2. Set an output: under “Digital Outputs”, select the channel, “Online” tab → Online Write 1 – the output switches and the LED lights.

    3. Alarm version: “Diagnosis Information” shows the alarm code, e.g. 0x01 if the field supply is missing.

    Source: Manual chap. 7.3.1 step 6; ESI V1.0.4

  8. 8Set startup parametersOptional

    In TwinCAT: box → Startup tab → New → expand index 8000:0, select the value, OK. Then Reload and switch the module off and on again so that the master transfers the parameters.

    ParameterValueMeaning
    Digital Input Filter Time3 msInput filter for the whole module, off to 20 ms (factory default 3 ms)
    TemplateMode1 = Preset LowOutputs outside OP (bus failure, stop) off (factory default); 2 = on, 3 = hold last value
    Channel xx0per channel deviating 1/2/3; 0 = TemplateMode applies (factory default)
    Protocol Layer Alarm switch0 = onProtocol alarms on (factory default)

    The filter applies to all inputs of the module together, not per channel. At 3 ms, the maximum input frequency is 150 Hz.

    The subindices for your model are listed in the EtherCAT tab.

    Source: Manual chap. 7.1, 7.3.1 step 5; ESI V1.0.4 (factory defaults)

  9. 9More devices in the lineOptional

    Connect several EC5R and other EtherCAT devices one after the other: OUT of one module to IN of the next. Max. 100 m per segment.

    After re-plugging or adding devices, scan again in the master; the order in the line determines the position.

    If a device has no supply, the devices behind it can no longer be reached (derived; the manual does not mention a bypass).

Mounting step by step

  1. 1Choose the installation site

    Protection class IP20: the module belongs in a control cabinet. Ventilate well and do not mount it next to or above devices that give off a lot of heat.

    At least 50 mm of clearance above and below the module (manual ch. 5.1). Operating temperature −20 to +60 °C, up to 2000 m altitude.

    Show clearances in the drawing

  2. 2Mount on the DIN rail

    • Pull the clip at the bottom of the rear side outwards until it clicks into place.

    • Hook the top edge of the module's rail slot onto the top edge of the DIN rail and press the module onto the rail.

    • Push the clip upwards until it clicks.

    • Removing: insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the clip, lever it towards the module, remove the module.

  3. 3Screwing to the wall

    The manual does not state the screw size; the hole is ⌀ 4.3 mm.

    • Slide the mounting ears on the left and right of the rear side outwards until they click into place.

    • Mark the holes with the template and a spirit level: two holes, spacing 169 mm.

    • Place the module and screw it on through the mounting ears so that it does not wobble.

    Show drilling pattern in the drawing

  4. 4Connecting the wires

Solidot EC5R remote I/O

Solidot EC5R – EtherCAT Remote-I/O (Digitalmodul)
Solidot EC5R – EtherCAT Remote-I/O (Digitalmodul)
If you want to connect sensors and actuators to a controller in a decentralised way – without running every single wire all the way back to the main cabinet – the Solidot EC5R series offers a compact, low-profile EtherCAT remote I/O system. The modules sit where the signals originate – on the machine or in the field distributor – and transmit all inputs and outputs to the controller over a single EtherCAT cable. Status LEDs right next to each channel show every input and output directly at the terminal point. Every channel has three dedicated terminals: signal, 24 V and 0 V – so sensors and actuators are powered directly at the module, with no separate distribution terminals. This saves wiring, terminals and space in the central cabinet – and speeds up troubleshooting. 🏭 Typical applications Decentralised machine modules: Each assembly gets its own I/O module, connected via a continuous EtherCAT line – new modules are simply added in series. Relieve the control cabinet: Instead of hundreds of wires to the central cabinet, only two RJ45 cables run per module. Fewer cable ducts, fewer terminals, a clearer system. Retrofit with an EtherCAT master: Extend existing Beckhoff TwinCAT or CODESYS controllers with decentralised I/O without enlarging the central PLC. Mixed signal direction: From a pure 32-channel input or output module to the 16/16 combination. On the 1616B+ model, you set 16 channels in groups of four as inputs or outputs via DIP switch – or the module detects the direction automatically from the wiring. So one variant still fits even when requirements change. 🌐 EtherCAT: one cable for all signals EtherCAT transmits the process data of all chained modules with very low latency over a line topology. Each EC5R module has two RJ45 ports (IN/OUT, 100 Mbit/s) and is daisy-chained – no additional switch required. Cycle times from 250 µs are possible. The module is imported into the master via its EtherCAT device description file (ESI) and can be configured immediately. 🔗 Compatibility As a standard-compliant EtherCAT slave device, the EC5R series works with any EtherCAT master – such as Beckhoff TwinCAT or CODESYS. Integration is vendor-independent via the ESI file. The inputs of the 3200 and 1616B types accept either NPN or PNP sensors – handy when both sensor types exist in your installed base. On the 1616B+, the inputs are PNP only. ⚙️ Parameters in the EtherCAT master Input filter: adjustable per module from “no filter” up to 20 ms (factory setting 3 ms) – short noise pulses are suppressed. Outputs on bus failure: Clear/Hold selectable – output 0, output 1 or hold the last value, per module or per channel. Diagnostics: The module reports faults such as missing load voltage or a disturbed output to the master via alarm codes. Set via DIP switch, it runs as the Alarm version and the codes appear directly in the process data. Firmware update and PDO access via SDO are supported. 🔌 Design and connection 3 terminals per channel: Signal, 24 V and 0 V are available on every channel – sensor and actuator supply is integrated in the module. That saves the entire supply distribution in the cabinet. Push-in spring terminals: Insert solid conductors and conductors with ferrules directly. To release, press the actuator with a small flat-blade screwdriver (≤ 3 mm). Mounting: on a 35 mm DIN rail or screwed directly to the wall using fold-out mounting ears. Compact low-profile housing (182 mm × 58 mm × 34 mm), passive cooling – no fan, no maintenance. Power supply: 24 V DC, permissible 21 – 28 V DC. Green status LED per channel, right at the terminal. ⚠️ Limits stated honestly Protection rating IP20 – for control cabinets or protected enclosures, not for the unprotected field environment. Power supply exclusively 21 – 28 V DC, no AC supply. Outputs max. 0.5 A per channel, 6 A in total per 16 channels – lower at high ambient temperatures. Operation from −20 °C to +60 °C (passive cooling). Standard process I/O – no functional-safety (safety) inputs/outputs. A separate safety controller is required for emergency stop and similar functions. EC5R modules are slave devices and require an EtherCAT master – they do not replace a controller. 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Solidot (s'Dot) specialises in industrial networking and remote I/O technology. The EC5R modules are CE- and RoHS-compliant and built for industrial use; inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated (500 V AC) and the transistor outputs are short-circuit proof with automatic recovery. Reverse polarity and surge protection on the field side are integrated; the module is tested for vibration (IEC 60068-2-6) and shock (IEC 60068-2-27). spstiger offers the series with German-language advice and support.

Assembled, shielded Ethernet cables for the fieldbus wiring of Solidot remote I/O modules — RJ45 on both ends, green jacket per industry convention. Available in seven lengths from 0.5 to 20 m and two jacket materials. 🔌 What for Connection between PLC and remote I/O module, and for daisy-chaining module to module (2 × RJ45 per module, no switch required). Protocol-neutral: PROFINET (PN4, PN5R, PN7A), EtherCAT (EC4, EC5R, EC7A), EtherNet/IP (EI4) and Modbus TCP (MT4). 🧵 PVC or PUR — which one PVC: the more economical choice for fixed installation in the cabinet and in cable ducts. PUR: tougher, more abrasion-resistant and oil-resistant — for moving installation, machine environments and anything that does not just sit in the cabinet. 📐 Technical basis CAT 5e, shielded, 100 Mbps — matching the Ethernet interface of the Solidot modules. Maximum cable length between two stations: 100 m (fieldbus specification). Lengths: 0.5 · 1 · 2 · 3 · 5 · 10 · 20 m. Custom lengths are available from the manufacturer on request — get in touch if you need one. ⚠️ Limits stated honestly RJ45 is an IP20 connector — for control cabinets and protected enclosures. In the field with splash water or dust, M12 cables (D-coded) are the right choice. CAT 5e, not CAT 6/CAT 6a. Not meant for gigabit backbones — the Solidot modules operate at 100 Mbps anyway.
