MA 8-01 / MA 8-02 connection unit
The modular connection unit is an optional accessory when connecting a BPS 8 to an RS 485 interface.
The RS 485 interface, the switching input and the switching output are all connected to the MA 8-01/MA
8-02. It also supplies voltage to the BPS 8. The MA 8-01/MA 8-02 connection unit offers the following
advantages over the installation of the BPS 8 as a stand-alone device:
• M12 socket for switching input and switching output
• M12 connector for RS 485 interface and voltage supply 24VDC
• M12 socket for connection of the BPS 8

MA 2xxi connection unit
The MA 2xxi modular connection unit is a gateway for the BPS 8 for connecting to various fieldbus
systems and Ethernet networks.
In this setup, the data of the BPS 8 is transmitted through the RS 232 interface to the MA 2xxi and imple
-
mented there on the relevant fieldbus/Ethernet systems.
The following gateways are available for the BPS 8:
• MA 204i
PROFIBUS DP
• MA 208i
Ethernet
• MA 248i
PROFINET
• MA 235i
CANopen
