BX5100 | CANopen Bus Terminal Controller

The BX5100 Bus Terminal Controller has a CANopen slave interface. It has automatic baud rate detection up to 1 Mbaud and an address selection switch for address assignment. Up to 16 Tx PDOs and 16 Rx PDOs can be exchanged with the control.

One unit consists of the BX5100 Bus Terminal Controller with up to 64 Bus Terminals and a bus end terminal. With the terminal bus extension system, the connection of up to 255 Bus Terminals is possible. The controller is programmed via the COM1 or via the CANopen interface of the FC510x PC Fieldbus Card.

In terms of their equipment and performance, the BX series Bus Terminal Controllers are positioned between the BC series Bus Terminal Controllers and the CX series Embedded PCs. The main features distinguishing BC and BX are the larger memory and the expanded interfaces of the BX. Additionally, two serial interfaces are integrated for programming and for the connection of further serial devices. The device itself comprises an illuminated LC display with two lines of 16 characters each, a joystick switch and a real-time clock. Further peripheral devices, e.g. displays, can be connected via the integrated Beckhoff Smart System Bus (SSB).

The BX family is particularly suitable for a modular machine concept. Within a network, the Bus Terminal Controller can exchange data with other system parts via the fieldbus interfaces. The real-time clock enables decentralized applications, for which the day of the week or the time play an important role. The areas of application of this series are similar to that of the BC series, but due to the larger memory the BX can execute significantly more complex and larger programs and can manage more data locally (e.g. history and trend data recording), which are then successively fetched over the fieldbus.

Controller for distributed signal processing

Like for all other Beckhoff controllers, the TwinCAT automation software is the basis for parameterization and programming. The BX devices are programmed according to the powerful IEC 61131-3 standard in the programming languages IL, FBD, LD, SFC or ST. Users therefore have the familiar TwinCAT tools available, e.g. the PLC programming interface, the System Manager and TwinCAT Scope. Data is exchanged optionally via the serial port (COM1) or via the fieldbus through Beckhoff FC510x PC Fieldbus Cards.

The configuration is also carried out using TwinCAT. The fieldbus interface, the SSB bus and the real-time clock can be configured and parameterized via the System Manager. The System Manager can read all connected devices and Bus Terminals. After the parameterization, the configuration is saved on the BX via the serial interface and can be accessed again later.
