BK8000 

 

Power input terminals 
for separately powered 
groups 
 

Three power contacts pass the operating power to the following terminals. 
You can use power input terminals to subdivide the terminal row as desired 
into groups, each with a separate power supply. These power input 
terminals are not taken into account for addressing the terminals, you can 
insert them at any position along the terminal row. 
 
You can install up to 64 terminals on a terminal row, including power input 
terminals and the end terminal.

Bus couplers for various 
fieldbus systems 
 

You can use a variety of bus couplers to attach the electronic terminal row 
quickly and easily to the various fieldbus systems, and you can also 
subsequently convert to a different fieldbus system. The bus coupler deals 
with all the necessary monitoring and control tasks for operating the 
attached bus terminals, indeed all the operation and configuration of the 
bus terminals is carried out via the bus coupler. The fieldbus, K bus and I/O 
level are electrically isolated. 
 
If the exchange of data across the fieldbus is temporarily interrupted, logic 
states are preserved, digital outputs are cleared and analog outputs revert 
to a reset value which can be individually configured for each output when 
the equipment is set up.
