Product Description:

The BK3020 which is in the BK EtherCAT Bus Coupler Series is a standard bus coupler that has been designed to improve connectivity and control on the production floors.

This unit, constructed with precision by Beckhoff, is intended to be easily incorporated into Beckhoff systems as well as other automation systems. Since the module is designed as a Profibus peripheral that does not support Profibus FMS, it is optimized for use with the GSD-compatible versions of the BK3000. It can handle large data sets because it has the input and output data processing capability of 128 bits which is important for the management of intricate operations as well as the management of flow of data within industrial operations. This bus coupler consists of up to 64 digital Bus Terminals thus enhancing the bus coupler's flexibility in system design and expansion. Such a capability is especially useful in the industrial environment where changes in operational conditions are frequent. The deployment of the BK3020 into industrial environments confirms the suitability of the device for industrial-grade use cases, providing stability and performance. The power supply standards of the device are set at a typical industrial 24V DC input, following the normal norms used in numerous automation systems.

A common protection class is IP20 which shows that the device should not be used in an environment that is exposed to water or dust. This protection ensures that the gadget will last and work well in a typical industrial setting. The BK3020 includes Profibus as one of its network interfaces, however, other specifics may differ depending on the system design. The Profibus provides real-time feedback to verify that the system is functioning properly and that any issues are identified as soon as possible. This product, available at Wake Industrial, is covered with a one-year warranty.
