Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF BC9050 is an Ethernet TCP/IP Bus Terminal Controller designed to connect standard Ethernet networks directly to the BECKHOFF Bus Terminal system. Acting as a programmable control unit, it combines a decentralized fieldbus controller with the modular flexibility of modular I/O terminals, supporting up to 64 Bus Terminals directly or up to 255 terminals with K-bus extension.

Equipped with an RJ45 interface operating at 10 or 100 Mbit/s with automatic transmission rate recognition, the BC9050 processes control logic locally using an integrated PLC runtime system programmable via TwinCAT in accordance with IEC 61131-3. Communication is supported via protocols including TwinCAT ADS and Modbus TCP, allowing seamless integration into automation networks for data exchange, monitoring, and decentralized control tasks.

Features

  • Integrates standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication into modular Bus Terminal systems
  • Supports up to 64 Bus Terminals directly, expandable up to 255 terminals via K-bus extension
  • Integrated PLC runtime system executing programs written in IEC 61131-3 languages
  • RJ45 bus interface supporting 10/100 Mbit/s with automatic rate recognition
  • Communication protocol support for TwinCAT ADS and Modbus TCP
  • Compact terminal housing equipped with diagnostic signal LEDs

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control architectures and modular automation systems
  • Building automation and infrastructure data acquisition networks
  • Sub-system machine cells requiring local PLC execution combined with Ethernet connectivity
  • Distributed industrial network nodes interfacing digital and analog peripheral signals

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure the power supply is completely de-energized before beginning any mechanical installation or wiring work.
  2. Mount the BECKHOFF BC9050 controller onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail conforming to EN 60715, ensuring the locking mechanism engages securely.
  3. Connect adjacent Bus Terminals using the double slot and key connection, taking care not to bend the internal K-bus pins.
  4. Connect the 24 V DC power supply and field-side potentials to the designated terminal points, respecting the maximum current limits of the power contacts.
  5. Perform secure wiring using solid, stranded, or ferrule-fitted conductors with spring actuation via a screwdriver, maintaining the specified stripping length of 8 to 9 mm.
  6. Verify all wiring, network connections via RJ45, and ground potentials before re-energizing the system and initiating configuration through TwinCAT or Ethernet.
