Product Description

Beckhoff BK3100

The Beckhoff BK3100 PROFIBUS Bus Coupler is a robust and efficient solution for connecting the Beckhoff Bus Terminal system to a PROFIBUS network. This “Compact” coupler functions as a slave on the PROFIBUS DP bus, automatically detecting the baud rate up to 12 Mbaud. It intelligently identifies all connected I/O terminals and generates a local process image, ensuring seamless data exchange between the fieldbus and the I/O modules. The BK3100 supports up to 64 Bus Terminals (expandable to 255 with a K-bus extension), making it a versatile and scalable component for a wide range of industrial automation and control applications.

Technical Specifications:

  • Fieldbus Protocol: PROFIBUS DP/FMS

  • Data Transfer Rates: 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud (automatic detection)

  • Number of Bus Terminals: Up to 64 (255 with K-bus extension)

  • Max. I/O Data: 244 bytes input and 244 bytes output

  • Power Supply: 24 V DC (-15 %/+20 %)

  • Current Supply (K-bus): 1750 mA

  • Bus Interface: 1 x D-sub 9-pin socket

  • Protection Class: IP20
