The BC8050 Compact Bus Terminal Controller with serial RS485 interface extends the Beckhoff small controller series by a cost-optimized version in a compact housing. An open serial protocol – like in the BK8x00 Bus Couplers – and the Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol are implemented. The address and the protocol are selected via the two rotary selection switches.
The BK8000 Bus Coupler usess the physics of the RS485 (V.24) specification for data transmission. Application of the Bus Coupler with a serial interface is suited to those cases in which the use of a fieldbus system can be omitted.
The BK8100 Bus Coupler usess the physics of the RS232C (V.24) specification for data transmission. Application of the Bus Coupler with a serial interface is suited to those cases in which the use of a fieldbus system can be omitted.
The KL3351 analog input terminal permits direct connection of a resistor bridge. The bridge voltage, UD, and the supply voltage, UREF, to the bridge are digitized with a 16 bit resolution, and are transmitted along an electrically isolated channel to the supervising automation system.
This module works with both 4-wire and 6-wire strain gauge load cells. The concept applied by the module requires compensation in the measurement system. This compensation eliminates the absolute uncertainty in the measurement circuit, such as component tolerances, effective bridge voltage or zero point offset.
