Version: 2.0.0
The TwinCAT configuration can be used to link variables, I/Os and data. The following is possible:
• PLC - K-BUS
• PLC fieldbus (e.g. PROFIBUS slave interface to PLC)
• K-bus fieldbus (only for BX controllers)
• Support for TwinSAFE terminals (only BX controllers from firmware 1.17)
In addition, the TwinCAT configuration can be used to parameterize special behavior, for example whether
data are preserved or set to "0" in the event of a fieldbus error.
The real-time clock can be set via a tab in the system manager.
Work steps
1. Setting the fieldbus address
2. Open the System Manager and create a TC file
3. Configure fieldbus data in the TC file
4. Save the TC file
5. Opening a new system manager, creating a PC file and reading in saved TX file
6. Creating a link to a PLC task
7. Saving the configuration
8. Starting the TwinCAT system
9. Open the TC file in the System Manager, complete the configuration and transfer it to the BCxx50,
BCxx20 or BXxx00
10. Transfer the program to BCxx50, BCxx20 or BXxx00
11. Creating a boot project

Creating a TwinCAT configuration
In order to configure a Bus Terminal Controller of the BCxx50, BCxx20 or BXxx00 series, create a BX file in
the System Manager. To simplify matters, files for the basic units have already been prepared. Open the
corresponding Bus Terminal Controller with
