The Beckhoff BK3120 PROFIBUS Economy Plus Bus Coupler is a compact and versatile I/O interface designed to integrate Beckhoff Bus Terminals with PROFIBUS DP networks. It is ideal for applications requiring scalable, distributed I/O solutions with robust fieldbus communication.
Bus Terminal Support: Connects up to 64 Bus Terminals directly; expandable to 255 using Beckhoff's K-bus extension technology.
Data Throughput: Supports up to 128 bytes of input and 128 bytes of output data in PROFIBUS DP mode, omitting FMS operation to maximize user data transfer.
PROFIBUS DP V1 Services: Enables direct access to Bus Coupler registers and complex Bus Terminals, allowing for parameterization adjustments and limit value settings for analog terminals.
Automatic Baud Rate Detection: Supports baud rates up to 12 Mbaud, automatically adapting to the network's requirements.
Power Supply: Operates on a 24 V DC supply with a maximum input current of 500 mA.
Environmental Compliance: Conforms to EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 standards for vibration and shock resistance.
Approvals: CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, DNV GL, cFMus certified.
