Product Description:

The module BC9020 is a versatile controller for industrial automation tasks. Offering robust processing capabilities, it supports up to 64 bus terminals, expandable to 255 with a K-bus extension, making it suitable for managing a substantial array of devices through a programming interface or Ethernet. The controller is equipped with 128 kbytes each of program and data memory to handle complex applications, alongside 2 kbytes of remanent data storage. Operating on a 24V DC power supply, the BC9020 typically consumes 85 mA plus additional current depending on the K-bus load, with a starting current approximately 2.5 times the continuous current. Such features enable reliable operation across a wide spectrum pertaining to automation projects.

The bus terminal controller facilitates streamlined communication using protocols such as TwinCAT ADS and Modbus TCP optimizing processes when connecting to existing industrial networks and systems, all while managing 2,040 digital and 512 analog peripheral signals. Programming occurs through TwinCAT simplifying the development and programming with features and functions. Execution operates at an approximate cycle time of 1 ms for 1,000 instructions and is suitable for process controls.

The BC9020 controller is engineered for durability within harsh environments and operations, allowing it to function within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C. Furthermore, it is certified with approvals that include CE, CCC, UL, ATEX, IECEx, and DNV GL, indicating reliable compliance with international standards for integration into varied systems. Weighing approximately 170 g, the module's rugged design ensures that it can endure harsh setups that would promote reliability for any industrial operation. Withstanding extensive compliance, such certifications facilitate a broader range of applications through process controls to automation management.
