BX9000-0000 by Beckhoff

The BX9000-0000 terminal controller from Beckhoff and part of the BX Bus Terminal Controllers series is designed for demanding industrial applications. This unit features an Ethernet Interface supporting Slave/Master configurations and offers data transfer rates of 10/100 Mbit/s with automatic recognition. It accommodates up to 2040 digital peripheral signals and 512 analog peripheral signals with 2048 bytes for both input and output. Additional key features include a battery-powered real-time clock, an illuminated FSTN display with 2 x 16 characters, and support for IEC 61131-3 programming languages. The controller operates over a temperature range of 0 to +55°C with storage from -25 to +85°C and requires a 24 V DC power supply (-15%/+20%). A one-year warranty underscores its reliability while addressing protocols such as DHCP, BootP, ARP, or joystick switch configurations and scalable bus terminals (64, expandable to 255 with a K-bus extension).
