Product Description:

The BC2000 is a Bus Terminal that is part of the BC Bus Terminals series. The terminal is a product of the Beckhoff and it is best used for industrial automation practices.

The BC2000 Bus Terminal has an input current of 70 mA + 500 mA which indicates base current draw and scaling based on connected terminals. The module communicates via Z1100 optical fiber which offers high immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports long distance and high speed transfer. It is suitable for standard industrial environments without requiring additional cooling or heating measures. It can process 1000 instructions in 3 milliseconds which includes Input and output scanning that makes it suitable for medium speed automation tasks. It supports a significant number of analog signals which is useful for sensors and actuators requiring variable data input and output. It has an isolation capacity of 500 Veff which helps protect sensitive electronics from high voltage faults or noise between power and control circuits. The module has 512 bytes remanent flags which maintains status or variables across power cycles. The maximum current that can be sourced to connected terminals is 1750 mA.

The BC Bus Terminals series module has total 64 bus terminals that can be connected to it. It supports all IEC 61131-3 standard languages which offers flexibility for different user preferences in PLC programming. The module certified immunity ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial environments prone to electrical disturbances. It has a physical connector of Z1000 which interfaces with Z1100 optical fiber. It is a lightweight terminal which is helpful for compact installations or DIN rail mounting. The maximum current that power contacts can carry is 10 amperes which is important for downstream loads.

Frequently Asked Questions about BC2000:

Q: How does the 24 V (-15% / +20%) supply range benefit the BC2000 terminal?

A: The wide voltage tolerance ensures stable operation during voltage fluctuations in industrial environments. This improves the reliability of the BC2000 in unstable power conditions.

Q: Why is the 2.5 Mbaud baud rate important for BC2000 communication?

A: A high baud rate ensures faster data transmission across the Z1100 optical network. This supports time-critical processes and reduces overall system response time.

Q: How does the BC2000 manage heat without additional cooling systems?

A: The efficient design and optimized power consumption eliminate the need for external cooling. This simplifies installation and improves system longevity.

Q: What is the significance of 512 input and output peripheral bytes in BC2000?

A: This large memory space allows the terminal to handle extensive I/O data efficiently. It improves performance in complex applications with multiple signals.

Q: Why is IP20 protection suitable for the BC2000 Bus Terminal?

A: IP20 offers basic touch protection, making it safe for cabinet-mounted installations. However, it requires enclosure protection in harsh environments.
