Product Description:
The BK3120 is a sturdy and adaptable EtherCAT bus coupler made for industrial automation applications by Beckhoff Automation. An essential connection between the EtherCAT network and different field devices, it is a part of the BK EtherCAT Bus Coupler Series. Within sophisticated automation systems, this little gadget, weighing around 170 grams, enables smooth communication and control. One of the BK3120's primary characteristics is its remarkable data transmission rate, which may reach up to 12 Mbaud. Precise and responsive control of industrial processes is made possible by the high-speed connection capabilities that guarantees real-time data interchange between the controller and the linked devices. By using shielded copper wires to reduce signal interference and preserve data integrity, the coupler does this via its sophisticated bus interface, a 9-pin D-sub socket with shielding.
With the ability to handle up to 64 terminals directly and up to 255 terminals via a K-bus extension, the BK3120 has a robust bus terminal support. Different automation demands may be met by the flexible system design and extension made possible by this scalability. The coupler ensures dependable functioning of the linked terminals by providing a 24 V DC power supply. The BK3120 can manage severe power needs with a maximum current supply of 1750 mA for the K-bus. Additionally, the BK3120 is designed to endure the harsh conditions of industrial settings. In addition to providing protection against dust and solid objects, its IP20 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C guarantee dependable operation under a variety of circumstances.
Durability and lifespan are further improved by the coupler's compliance with EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 specifications for vibration and shock resistance. A testament to the BK3120's quality and safety is its compliance with international certifications such as CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, DNV GL, and cFMus. These certifications provide consumers with assurance about the coupler's performance and dependability by guaranteeing that it satisfies strict industry standards and legal criteria. This product comes with a one-year warranty from Wake Industrial, demonstrating their dedication to client happiness.
