Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF BK9103 is a PROFINET Bus Coupler designed to connect the Beckhoff Bus Terminal system to PROFINET RT (Class B) networks. As an interface between the higher-level fieldbus and the modular electronic terminal blocks, the BK9103 translates fieldbus telegrams into the internal K-bus signal format. This coupler handles data transmission, protocol handling, and power distribution for connected Bus Terminals within industrial automation architectures.

Equipped with a dual-channel switch featuring two RJ45 interfaces, the BK9103 supports line and star network topologies without requiring an external network switch. The unit powers the internal K-bus and supplies the power contacts, supporting up to 64 Bus Terminals directly or expanding up to 255 Bus Terminals using K-bus extension technology. Configuration of the connected I/O channels is supported via the KS2000 software tool.

Features

  • PROFINET RT (Class B) communication protocol support for real-time Ethernet data exchange
  • Integrated 2-channel switch with two RJ45 connectors for flexible line and star wiring topologies
  • Supports up to 64 Bus Terminals natively and up to 255 Bus Terminals with K-bus extension
  • Processes up to 512 bytes of input data and 512 bytes of output data over the fieldbus
  • Integrated power supply providing 1750 mA for K-bus communication
  • Automatic 10/100 Mbit/s transmission rate detection
  • Diagnostic indicators for operating state, network link, and bus errors

Applications

  • PROFINET-based modular machine building and discrete manufacturing systems
  • Distributed industrial I/O data acquisition and control architectures
  • Factory automation networks requiring line or star Ethernet topologies
  • Retrofitting and expanding existing K-bus terminal stations into PROFINET networks
