Product Description:
The BC5150 Bus Terminal enables precise measurement and transmission of voltage signals. Belonging to the BC series of Beckhoff this product offers reliable performance in a diverse industrial automation environment.
The BC5150 bus terminal has a maximum data size of 2048 bytes of input data and 2048 bytes of output data as it supports high volume I/O processing. It can withstand up to 500 volts of isolation between power, supply and fieldbus which enhances safety and noise immunity. It comes with diagnostic LEDs which make troubleshooting and monitoring power and bus status easier. The module operates reliably within a voltage range of ~20.4 to 28.8 VDC. It is designed to support a large number of analog I/Os (such as voltage and current sensors) which is suitable for applications involving precise measurements. It is suitable for DIN rail mounting because it has a low weight of 100g which simplifies installation and reduces load on control cabinets. It is ideal for extensive automation setups involving switches, relays and other binary signals because it has 2040 inputs and outputs digital peripheral signals. It is suitable for a -25 °C ... +60 °C industrial environment without extra cooling or heating.
The BC5150 bus terminal is certified for mechanical durability which ensures performance in environments with vibration. The module power contacts can handle up to 10 A which allows it to power significant downstream loads through the terminal block. It comes with a 16 bit microcontroller which handles logic, diagnostics and communications. The module is limited to indoor uses as it is only IP20 rated. It is recommended to have a fuse of up to 10 A for safety and compliance. It has a standardized physical interface for connecting to the fieldbus network.
