Product Description:
Beckhoff manufactures the BK5150, which is intended for CAN-open networks, a high-level communication protocol often used in industrial automation. Automatic baud rate detection, a function that enables the coupler to tune its communication speed to match that of the linked devices, is one of its primary characteristics. Data communication between devices is defined by the several Process Data Object (PDO) modes that the BK5150 supports. The network may accommodate various communication needs with the use of these modes, which include synchronous, cyclic, event-driven, and polling. A K-bus extension may increase the BK5150's support for up to 64 bus terminals to 255. The automation system's scalability and flexibility are increased by connecting several devices into the network.
For effective data transmission, the BK5150 uses a twisted copper wire that has been screened. Having "Number of PDOs (CANopen)" 16 Tx/Rx PDOs indicates that the coupler can process a large quantity of data at once. In essence, PDOs are data containers for effective data interchange in networks using CANopen. Applications needing high data throughput may find that a greater number of PDOs means more data is sent each cycle. Diagnostic LEDs for power supply, K-bus, and fieldbus status are included with the BK5150. These LEDs enable the rapid and simple detection of any problems by providing visible indications of the coupler's operating state.
The BK5150 has a number of extra CANopen features that improve its dependability and usefulness. The following are among them: "life," "node guarding," "emergency object," "variable mapping," and "store/restore." This coupler's "Data Transfer Rates" with "automatic detection up to 1 Mbaud" demonstrate how well it can handle high-speed communication. The BK5150 is guaranteed to function reliably in a variety of industrial settings because to its "Operating/storage Temperature" range of -25°C to +60°C for operation and -40°C to +85°C for storage. Its conformance to EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27 for "Vibration/shock Resistance" and EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 for "EMC Immunity/emission" provides further evidence of its appropriateness for demanding industrial settings. The one-year warranty that Wake Industrial provides on this product gives clients piece of mind and guarantees its dependability and quality.
