BK 3010 Beckhoff Profibus Bus Coupler Connector (Used Tested)

BK3100 | PROFIBUS Bus Coupler

The BK3100 Bus Coupler connects the PROFIBUS system to the electronic terminal blocks, which can be extended in modular fashion. One unit consists of the Bus Coupler, any number of up to 64 terminals and one end terminal.

The Bus Coupler recognises the connected terminals and automatically generates the affiliations of the inputs/outputs to the bytes of the process image. The first input/output signal is inserted in the first bit of one byte (LSB), beginning from the left. The Bus Coupler inserts further signals in this byte. Inputs and outputs are clearly separated. The Bus Coupler automatically begins a further byte if the number of inputs or outputs exceeds 8 bits.

The Beckhoff GSE and type data files to the Bus Couplers support the Bus Terminal options and can be loaded in the corresponding master configuration software to facilitate planning and design. Various configurations and parameters for the Bus Coupler can be selected via GSE and type data files.
