The BK9000 Bus Coupler connects Ethernet with the modular, extendable electronic terminal blocks. One unit consists of one Bus Coupler, any number from 1 to 64 terminals and one end terminal.
The KL2022 digital output terminal connects the binary control signals from the automation unit on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. It handles different load currents, and its outputs are protected against short-circuit. The Bus Terminal contains two channels that indicate their signal state by means of light emitting diodes.
The KL3202 analog input terminal allows resistance sensors to be connected directly. The Bus Terminal’s circuitry can operate the sensors using 2-wire or 3-wire connection techniques. Linearization over the full temperature range is realized with the aid of a microprocessor. The temperature range can be selected freely.
The 2-port EtherCAT junction enables configuration of EtherCAT star topologies. A modular EtherCAT star can be realized by using several EP1122-0001 units in a station. Individual devices or complete EtherCAT strands can be connected at the junction ports. The EtherCAT junctions are connected via M8 sockets with direct display of link and activity status. The Run LED indicates the status of the EP1122-0001.
The EP2338-0001 EtherCAT Box has eight digital channels that can each be operated as inputs or outputs. It is not necessary to configure whether a channel (pin 4 of the M8) is to be used as input or output; the input circuit is permanently connected internally to the output driver, so that a set output is automatically displayed in the input process image.
