15 BCM 500
15 .1 Application
The bus module BCM 500 is used as a communications inter-
face for devices of the BCU/FCU 500 product family for connec-
tion to a Profinet network. Networking via Profinet enables the
FCU or BCU to be controlled and monitored by an automation
system (e.g. PLC).
15 .2 Function
The bus system transfers the control signals for starting, re-
setting and for controlling the air valve to purge the furnace
or kiln or for cooling in start-up position and heating during
operation from the automation system (PLC) to the BCM. In the
opposite direction, it sends operating status, the level of the
flame signal and the current program step.
15 .3 Electrical connection
Use only cable and plug components which comply with the
appropriate Profinet specifications.
Use shielded RJ45 plugs.
Cable length between 2 Profinet stations: max. 100 m.
Profinet installation guidelines, see www.profibus.com.
15 .4 Installation
Installation position: vertically upright, horizontal or tilted to
the left or right.
The BCM mounting is designed for horizontally aligned
35 × 7.5 mm DIN rails.

If the DIN rail is aligned vertically, end clamps are required
(e.g. Clipfix 35 by Phoenix Contact) to prevent the control unit
from slipping.
Install in a clean environment (e.g. a control cabinet) with an
enclosure ≥ IP 54, whereby no condensation is permitted.
