BECKHOFF BK9105 Bus Coupler
The BK9105 is an EtherNet/IP™ Bus Coupler from Beckhoff. It connects Beckhoff Bus Terminals to EtherNet/IP networks, supporting up to 64 terminals (expandable to 255 with K-Bus extension). The coupler automatically detects connected terminals and maps their inputs/outputs to the process image. It supports 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet via RJ45 connectors. IP addressing can be configured via DIP switches or DHCP. The BK9105 includes a 3-port switch, allowing line or star topology for reduced wiring costs. EtherNet/IP is based on Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP and uses the CIP protocol for industrial communication
