A fundamental component for automation

The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system, consisting of electronic terminal blocks, is a fundamental component for automation technology. The open, fieldbus-neutral I/O system is connected to more than 30 fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet systems, such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CANopen or BACnet, using Bus Couplers or master terminals.

With a wide range of I/O components for connecting all commercially available sensors and actuators, Beckhoff covers the communication routes between the control system and the field level, thus completing its universal control and drive solution. The focus here is on the simple integration of the open control technology. The product portfolio includes more than 1,000 Bus Terminals for over 100 different signal types.

The Beckhoff Bus Terminals are used in various industrial sectors – from machine construction to building control systems – and have successfully proven themselves due to the simple system planning, wiring, commissioning and maintenance.

Advantages at a glance

The Beckhoff Bus Terminals form an open and fieldbus-neutral I/O system consisting of electronic terminal blocks. The connection between the Bus Terminals and the fieldbus is provided by Bus Couplers, which are available for PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, and many other common fieldbus systems.

Besides standard I/O signals, the product portfolio also includes safety I/Os for the combined use of safety functions and I/O technology in one system. Furthermore, Bus Terminals are also available for special tasks in building automation or for implementing drive solutions.

All components can be simply plugged onto the DIN rail in the control cabinet or terminal box. Power supply, communication and field voltage distribution are automatically provided via internal terminal contacts when they click into place.

The fine granularity of the Bus Terminals enables bit-precise composition of the required I/O channels. The digital Bus Terminals for generating and processing binary signals are designed as 2, 4, 8 and 16-channel terminals or with up to 64 channels as terminal modules. The 16-channel HD (High Density) version combines 16 digital input and output channels into a standard terminal housing with a width of just 12 mm.

The analog input terminals for the acquisition of analog signals from the field can process a wide range of measured variables, such as current, voltage, temperature and resistance. In addition to the signal type, the terminals also differ in signal resolution and measuring accuracy. In the analog output range, the standard signals of ±10 V, 0…10 V, 0…20 mA and 4…20 mA are consistently available as 1, 2, 4, or 8-channel version in a standard housing.

The Bus Terminal portfolio also offers comprehensive solutions for drive control, the evaluation of various encoder interfaces and for special measurement applications, such as power measurement.

The Bus Terminals form a fieldbus-neutral I/O system in wich the Bus Couplers act as an interface between fieldbus and the Bus Terminals. Bus Couplers are available for the following bus systems:

EtherCAT, the high-speed, real-time Ethernet fieldbus
Lightbus, the fast fiber-optic fieldbus
PROFIBUS DP/FMS, according to the European standard EN 50170
Interbus, which has been on the market since 1987
CANopen, the multimaster in the actuator/sensor area
DeviceNet, the device bus with CAN technology
Modbus, the open fieldbus
CC-Link, the fieldbus for the Asian market
SERCOS interface, the drive technology bus
RS232/RS485, the network for low-cost solutions
Ethernet TCP/IP, the network bus
Ethernet/IP, the Industrial Ethernet solution from ODVA
PROFINET, the Industrial Ethernet solution from PNO

With the master terminals, fieldbus functionalities are available in form of a standard Bus Terminal. This is particularly advantageous for bus systems that are integrated as a subsystem in a higher-level system. This means that only one system is required for the subsystem and the higher-level bus interface. Master terminals are available for the following bus systems:

AS-Interface, the sensor/actuator bus for the lower control level
IO-Link, the interface for intelligent sensors and actuators
KNX/EIB, LON, DALI, MP-Bus, M-Bus, SMI and Enocean: the communication standards in building automation

With various connection options, the Bus Terminal system allows optimal adaptation to the relevant application. In the KLxxxx Bus Terminals, electronics and connection level are located in one housing.

In contrast, the KSxxxx Bus Terminals have a pluggable wiring level, so that in case of service, the entire wiring can be removed as one connector from the top side of the housing.

With the Beckhoff Bus Terminals, control cabinets and terminal boxes can be built more economically. The Bus Terminals perfectly fit the terminal boxes’ dimensions and can be easily plugged onto a standard profile rail. The contacts are made as the terminal clicks into place, with no further action. Each terminal remains individually exchangeable. A clear front connection panel with a status display and the insertable contact labeling ensure clarity on-site. The flexible conductor connection technologies allow the usage of the Bus Terminals in almost every application without additional wiring work. The 3-wire technology, optionally supplemented by a protective conductor connection, enables the direct link of sensors and actuators to the terminal.

Connectivity for all common fieldbus systems

Beckhoff provides an extensive range of fieldbus components for all common I/O and fieldbus systems. The wide choice of I/O components means that the bus system best suited to the particular application can be chosen.

Suitable Beckhoff components depending on the fieldbus system

EtherCAT

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is the Ethernet solution for industrial automation, characterized by outstanding performance and particularly simple handling.

Ethernet TCP/IP

The advantages of Ethernet, such as high data transmission rates, easy methods of integration into existing networks, and a wide range of services and interfaces are also found in the Beckhoff Ethernet products.

PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS is widely used as a fast bus for decentralized peripheral components (PROFIBUS DP). In addition to PROFIBUS DP Beckhoff also supports the standard for drive communication, PROFIBUS MC.

PROFINET

PROFINET is the open Industrial Ethernet standard of the PNO (PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation).

EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP is the Industrial Ethernet standard of the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). It is based on Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP.

CANopen

The effective utilization of the bus bandwidth allows CANopen to achieve a short system reaction time at comparatively low data rates.

DeviceNet

DeviceNet is a sensor/actuator bus system that originated in the USA, but meanwhile is increasingly being used in Europe and Asia. DeviceNet is CAN-based (Controller Area Network).

Interbus

Interbus is a sensor/actuator bus with low configuration expenditure. The summation frame protocol of this master/slave system offers high efficiency in cyclic communication.

SERCOS

SERCOS was originally developed as a fast fiber-optic bus system for drives. Thanks to the Beckhoff SERCOS Bus Coupler, the advantages such as high data rate and short cycle times can now be provided for the I/O peripherals, too.

CC-Link

CC-Link (Control & Communication Link) is an open bus system for communication between the control and fieldbus level. It is predominately used in Asia.

Modbus

Modbus RTU is an open, serial communications protocol based on the master/slave architecture. Due to its open standards, Modbus TCP is common for the use of Ethernet in the fields of automation.

RS232, RS485

The classic serial interfaces, RS232 and RS485, continue in wide use. The Beckhoff RS485/RS232 I/O modules use a simple, published serial communication protocol that is easy to implement.

IO-Link

IO-Link serves to connect sensors and actuators to the control level by means of an inexpensive point-to-point connection. As an open interface, IO-Link can be integrated in all common fieldbus systems.
