BK9053 - introduction

PROFINET is the open Industrial Ethernet-standard of the PNO (PROFIBUS User Organisation). Internationally established IT standards are used for communication.

PROFINET IO describes data exchange between controllers and field devices. It can be used in standard Ethernet networks and networked via commercially available switches. Linking to any PROFINET controller takes place via the GSDML basic device file.

The BK9053 Bus Coupler connects PROFINET with the modular, extendable electronic terminal blocks. A unit consists of a Bus Coupler, any number (between 1 and 64) of terminals (255 with K-bus extension) and one end terminal.

The Bus Couplers recognize the terminals to which they are connected, and perform the assignment of the inputs and outputs to the words of the process image automatically.
