Beckhoff BK3520 Profibus Coupler

Buy online your Beckhoff BK3520 Profibus Coupler  on our cnc-shopping e-store. The BK3520 Profibus Coupler links a fiber optic PROFIBUS system to the modular, extendable electronic Bus Terminal system. With the K-bus extension technology up to 255 spatially distributed Bus Terminals can be connected to one Bus Coupler. The particular feature for the BK3520 Bus Coupler is its fiber optic connection and its high transmission rate of up to 12 Mbaud.

An interface-module is necessary to translate between the physical properties of RS485 to those of an underlying optical fiber ring. The topology corresponds with the RS485 physics (line topology)

BK3520 possesses two transmitters and two receivers. The address is set by the address selection switch. The baud rate is automatically recognized. Baud rates of up to 12 Mbaud are supported, so that the transmission speed can be adapted to meet the needs of the particular technical process.

The Profibus Coupler has been designed to accommodate automation requirements. PROFIBUS protocols omit FMS operation in order to be able to transfer more user data in DP mode. The BK3520 incorporates the PROFIBUS DP V1 services.

Power supply : 24 V DC (-15 %/+20 %)

Number of Bus Terminals : 64 (255 with K-bus extension)
