15 .1 Application
The bus module BCM 500 is used as a communications
interface for devices of the BCU/FCU 500 product
family for connection 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 start-
ing, resetting 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.
