The new Ethernet TCP/IP BK9100 Bus Coupler and BC9100 Bus Terminal Controller for the Bus Terminal I/O system with integrated 2-port switchsimplify the cabling between Ethernet stations and greatly reduce overall wiring effort. The BK9100 Bus Coupler connects the Ethernet TCP/IPbus system with over 180 different Beckhoff I/O terminals. The BC9100controller version contains an additional IEC 61131-3- programmable PLC and can be used as a low-cost local controller. The new versions also feature an RJ 45 port with integrated 2-channel switch. The I/O stations can be configured with a line topology, instead of the classic star topology via switch or hub. This significantly reduces the wiringeffort and the cabling costs in many applications. The maximum distance between two bus stations can be up to 100 m.
