The BK3100 is a PROFIBUS DP/FMS bus coupler designed to connect the PROFIBUS system to electronic terminal blocks, which can be extended in a modular fashion. It supports up to 64 bus terminals and operates at a communication speed of 12 Mbaud. The device features 512 inputs/outputs for digital peripheral signals and is compatible with various bus terminal configurations, including BK3000 and BK3010 series for digital signals. It utilizes a K-Bus interface for fieldbus communication, with a supply voltage of 24 V DC. The BK3100 serves as an interface module that replaces conventional terminal cabling in switch cabinets, enabling smaller and more efficient control panel designs.
