BK5200 - Introduction

The BK5200 Bus Coupler connects the DeviceNet bus system to the modularly extendable electronic terminal blocks. One unit consists of one Bus Coupler, any number from 1 to 64 terminals and one bus end terminal.

The DeviceNet Bus Coupler also works without problems with other DeviceNet devices in a network on the basis of the CAN protocol. DeviceNet is based on definitions of communications objects and services for the exchange of data from the sensor/actuator area that have been specially agreed upon for automation technology. The Bus Couplers support all the types of I/O communication described by DeviceNet.

Parameterization of the Bus Couplers and the Bus Terminals can be carried out via the PC using the KS2000 configuration software. Commissioning without KS2000 is also possible. Appropriate EDS files are available for DeviceNet configuration tools.
