BECKHOFF BK9055: Product overview

BK9055 - Introduction

The Compact BK9055 Bus Coupler connects EtherNet/IP with the modular, extendable electronic terminal blocks. One unit consists of one Bus Coupler, any
number from 1 to 64 terminals (255 with K-bus extension) and one end terminal.

The Bus Coupler recognizes the terminals to which it is connected, and performs the assignment of the inputs and outputs to the words of the process image
automatically. The BK9055 Bus Coupler supports 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. Connection is through normal RJ 45 connectors. The IP address is set on
the DIP switch (offset to a freely selectable start address). In networks with DHCP (a service for the allocation of the logical IP address to the physical node
address [MAC-ID]) the Bus Coupler obtains its IP address from the DHCP server.

Ethernet/IP is the Industrial Ethernet standard of ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). Ethernet/IP is based on Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP – IP
stands for Industrial Protocol. Essentially, the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) used in ControlNet and DeviceNet was ported to Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP.

Complex signal processing for analog I/Os, position measurement, …

The BK9000 and BK9050 Bus Couplers support the operation of all Bus Terminal types.

The analog and multi-functional Bus Terminals can be adapted to each specific application using the KS2000 configuration set. Depending on the type, the
analog Bus Terminals' registers contain temperature ranges, gain values and linearization characteristics. With the KS2000, the required parameters can be set on
a PC. The Bus Terminals store settings permanently and in a fail-safe manner.

Optionally, the Bus Terminals can also be controlled by the control system. Via function blocks (FBs), the programmable logic controller (PLC) or the Industrial
PC (IPC) handles configuration of the complete periphery during the start-up phase. If required, the controller can upload the decentrally created configuration
data in order to centrally manage and store this data. Therefore, new adjustments are not necessary in the event of replacement of a Bus Terminal. The controller
carries out the desired setting automatically after switching on.

topology, instead of the classic star topology. In many applications this significantly reduces the wiring effort and the cabling costs. The maximum distance
between two couplers is 100 m. Up to 20 BK9105 Bus Couplers are cascadable, so that a maximum line length of 2 km can be achieved.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Product Overview

The Beckhoff Bus Terminal System

Up to 64 Bus Terminals each having 2 I/O channels for each signal form

The Bus Terminal system is the universal interface between a fieldbus system and the sensor / actuator level. A unit consists of a Bus Coupler as the head
station, and up to 64 electronic series terminals, the last one being an end terminal. For each technical signal form, terminals are available each having two I/O
channels, and these can be mixed in any order. All the terminal types have the same mechanical construction, so that difficulties of planning and design are
minimized. The height and depth match the dimensions of compact terminal boxes.

Decentralized wiring of each I/O level

Fieldbus technology allows more compact forms of controller to be used. The I/O level does not have to be brought to the controller. The sensors and actuators
can be wired decentrally, using minimum cable lengths. The controller can be installed at any location within the plant.

Industrial PCs as controllers

The use of an Industrial PC as the controller means that the operating and observing element can be implemented in the controller ’s hardware. The controller can
therefore be located at an operating panel, in a control room, or at some similar place. The Bus Terminals form the decentralized input/output level of the
controller in the control cabinet and the subsidiary terminal boxes. The power sector of the plant is also controlled over the bus system in addition to the
sensor/actuator level. The Bus Terminal replaces the conventional series terminal as the wiring level in the control cabinet. The control cabinet can have smaller
dimensions.

Bus Couplers for all usual bus systems

The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system unites the advantages of a bus system with the possibilities of the compact series terminal. Bus Terminals can be driven
within all the usual bus systems, thus reducing the controller parts count. The Bus Terminals then behave like conventional connections for that bus system. All
the performance features of the particular bus system are supported.

Assembly on standardized mounting rails

The easy, space-saving, assembly on a standardized mounting rail (EN 50022, 35 mm), and the direct wiring of actuators and sensors, without cross -connections
between the terminals, standardizes the installation. The consistent labelling scheme also contributes.

The small physical size and the great flexibility of the Bus Terminal system allows it to be used wherever a series terminal is also used. Every type of
connection, such as analog, digital, serial or the direct connection of sensors can be implemented.

Modularity

The modular assembly of the terminal strip with Bus Terminals of various functions limits the number of unused channels to a maximum of one per function.
The presence of two channels in one terminal is the optimum compromise of unused channels and the cost of each channel. The possibility of electrical isolation
through potential feed terminals also helps to keep the number of unused channels low.

Display of the channel state

The integrated LEDs show the state of the channel at a location close to the sensors and actuators.

K-Bus
The K-Bus is the data path within a terminal strip. The K-Bus is led through from the Bus Coupler through all the terminals via six contacts on the terminals ’
side walls. The end terminal terminates the K-Bus. The user does not have to learn anything about the function of the K-Bus or about the internal workings of
the terminals and the Bus Coupler. Many software tools that can be supplied make project planning, configuration and operation easy.

Potential feed terminals for isolated groups

The operating voltage is passed on to following terminals via three power contacts. You can divide the terminal strip into arbitrary isolated groups by means of
potential feed terminals. The potential feed terminals play no part in the control of the terminals, and can be inserted at any locations within the terminal strip.

Up to 64 terminals can be used within one terminal strip. This count does include potential feed terminals, but not the end terminal.

Bus Couplers for various fieldbus systems

Various Bus Couplers can be used to couple the electronic terminal strip quickly and easily to different fieldbus systems. It is also possible to convert to another
fieldbus system at a later time. The Bus Coupler performs all the monitoring and control tasks that are necessary for operation of the connected Bus Terminals.
The operation and configuration of the Bus Terminals is carried out exclusively by the Bus Coupler. Nevertheless, the parameters that have been set are stored in
each Bus Terminal, and are retained in the event of voltage drop-out. Fieldbus, K-Bus and I/O level are electrically isolated.

If the exchange of data over the fieldbus is prone to errors or fails for a period of time, register contents (such as counter states) are retained, digital outputs are
cleared, and analog outputs take a value that can be configured for each output when commissioning. The default setting for analog outputs is 0 V or 0 mA.
Digital outputs return in the inactive state. The timeout periods for the Bus Couplers correspond to the usual settings for the fieldbus system. When converting to
a different bus system it is necessary to bear in mind the need to change the timeout periods if the bus cycle time is longer.

The interfaces

A Bus Coupler has six different methods of connection. These interfaces are designed as plug connectors and as spring -loaded terminals.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Product Overview

Ethernet
Ethernet was originally developed by DEC, Intel and XEROX (as the "DIX" standard) for passing data between office devices. The term nowadays generally
refers to the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD specification, published in 1985. Because of the high acceptance around the world this technology is available everywhere
and is very economical. This means that it is easy to make connections to existing networks.

There are now a number of quite different transmission media: coaxial cable (10Base5), optical fiber (10BaseF) or twisted pairs (10BaseT) with screen (STP) or
without screen (UTP). A variety of topologies such as ring, line or star can be constructed with Ethernet.

Ethernet transmits Ethernet packets from a sender to one or more receivers. This transmission takes place without acknowledgement, and without the repetition
of lost packets. To achieve reliable data communication, there are protocols, such as TCP/IP, that can run on top of Ethernet.

Basic Principles
The Internet Protocol (IP)

The internet protocol (IP) forms the basis of this data communication. IP transports data packets from one device to another; the devices can be in the same
network, or in different networks. IP here looks after the address management (finding and assigning MAC -IDs), segmentation and routing. Like the Ethernet
protocol, IP does not guarantee that the data is transported - data packets can be lost, or their sequence can be changed.

TCP/IP was developed to provide standardized, reliable data exchange between any number of different networks. TCP/IP is thus substantially independent of
the hardware or software being used. Although the term is often used as if it were a single concept, a number of protocols are layered together: e.g. IP, TCP,
UDP, ARP and ICMP.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which runs on top of IP is a connection-oriented transport protocol. It includes error detection and error handling
mechanisms. Lost telegrams are repeated.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

UDP is connectionless transport protocol. It provides no control mechanism when exchanging data between sender and receiver. This results in a higher
processing speed than, for example, TCP. Checking whether or not the telegram has arrived must be carried out by the higher -level protocol.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

It is used by end devices, to exchange information about the current status of the internet protocol.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Performs conversion between the IP addresses and MAC addresses.

BootP

The BootP protocol allows the TCP/IP address to be set or altered, by addressing the network device with its MAC -ID.
BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Installation and wiring

Dimensions
The system of the Beckhoff Bus Terminals is characterized by low physical volume and high modularity. When planning a project it must be assumed that at
least one Bus Coupler and a number of Bus Terminals will be used. The mechanical dimensions of the Bus Couplers are independent of the fieldbus system.

The total width in practical cases is composed of the width of the Bus Coupler, the KL9010 Bus End Terminal and the width of the bus terminals in use.
Depending on function, the Bus Terminals are 12 or 24 mm wide. The front wiring increases the total height of 68 mm by about 5 to 10 mm, depending on the
wire thickness.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Mounting and Wiring

Installation of Bus Terminals on mounting rails

Risk of electric shock and damage of device!

Bring the bus terminal system

WARNING

Assembly
The Bus Coupler and Bus Terminals are attached to commercially available 35 mm mounting rails (DIN rails according to EN 50022) by applying slight
pressure:

1. First attach the Fieldbus Coupler to the mounting rail.

2. The Bus Terminals are now attached on the right-hand side of the Fieldbus Coupler. Join the components with tongue and groove and push the terminals
against the mounting rail, until the lock clicks onto the mounting rail.
If the Terminals are clipped onto the mounting rail first and then pushed together without tongue and groove, the connection will not be operational! When
correctly assembled, no significant gap should be visible between the housings.

During the installation of the Bus Terminals, the locking mechanism of the terminals must not come into conflict with the fixing bolts of the mounting rail.
Disassembly
Each terminal is secured by a lock on the mounting rail, which must be released for disassembly:

1. Carefully pull the orange-colored lug approximately 1 cm out of the disassembled terminal, until it protrudes loosely. The lock with the mounting rail is
now released for this terminal, and the terminal can be pulled from the mounting rail without excessive force.
2. Grasp the released terminal with thumb and index finger simultaneous at the upper and lower grooved housing surfaces and pull the terminal away from
the mounting rail.

Connections within a bus terminal block

The electric connections between the Bus Coupler and the Bus Terminals are automatically realized by joining the components:

 The six spring contacts of the K-Bus/E-Bus deal with the transfer of the data and the supply of the Bus Terminal electronics.
 The power contacts deal with the supply for the field electronics and thus represent a supply rail within the bus terminal block. The power contacts are
supplied via terminals on the Bus Coupler.

Power Contacts
During the design of a bus terminal block, the pin assignment of the individual Bus Terminals must be taken account of, since some types
(e.g. analog Bus Terminals or digital 4-channel Bus Terminals) do not or not fully loop through the power contacts.
Note Power Feed Terminals (KL91xx, KL92xx or EL91xx, EL92xx

PE power contact
The power contact labeled PE can be used as a protective earth. For safety reasons this contact mates first when plugging together, and can ground short -circuit
currents of up to 125 A.

Possible damage of the device

Note that, for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, the PE contacts are capacitatively coupled to the mounting rail. This may lead to
incorrect results during insulation testing or to damage on the terminal (e.g. disruptive discharge to the PE line during insulation testing of a
consumer with a nominal voltage of 230 V).

Attention For insulation testing, disconnect the PE supply line at the Bus Coupler or the Power Feed Terminal! In order to decouple further feed points
for testing, these

The PE power contact must not be used for other potentials!

Wiring
Up to eight connections enable the connection of solid or finely stranded cables to the Bus Terminals. The terminals are implemented in spring force technology.
Connect the cables as follows:

1. Open a spring-loaded terminal by slightly pushing with a screwdriver or a rod into the square opening above the terminal.
2. The wire can now be inserted into the round terminal opening without any force.
3. The terminal closes automatically when the pressure is released, holding the wire securely and permanently.

Note

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Mounting and Wiring

Power Supply, Potential Groups

Bus Coupler power supply

The Bus Couplers require a 24 V DC supply for their operation. The connection is made by means of the upper spring -loaded terminals labelled 24 V and 0 V.
The supply voltage feeds the Bus Coupler electronics and, over the K-Bus/E-Bus, the Bus Terminals. The power supply for the Bus Coupler electronics and that
of the K-Bus/E-Bus are electrically separated from the potential of the field level.

Input for Power Contacts

The bottom six connections with spring-loaded terminals can be used to feed the supply for the peripherals. The spring-loaded terminals are joined in pairs to a
power contact. The feed for the power contacts has no connection to the voltage supply for the Bus Coupler. The design of the feed permits voltages of up to
24 V. The assignment in pairs and the electrical connection between feed terminal contacts allows the connection wires to be looped through to various terminal
points. The current drawn from the power contacts must not exceed 10 A for long periods. The current carrying capacity between two spring -loaded terminals is
identical to that of the connecting wires.

Power contacts

On the right hand face of the Bus Coupler there are three spring contacts for the power contact connections. The spring contacts are hidden in slots so that they
can not be accidentally touched. By attaching a Bus Terminal the blade contacts on the left hand side of the Bus Terminal are connected to the spring contacts.
The tongue and groove guides on the top and bottom of the Bus Coupler and of the Bus Terminals guarantees that the power contacts mate securely.
Configuration Interface (not for BK1250)

The standard Bus Couplers have an RS232 interface at the bottom of the front face. The miniature connector can be joined to a PC with the aid of a connecting
cable and the KS2000 configuration software. The interface permits the Bus Terminals to be configured, for example adjusting the amplification factors of the
analog channels. The interface can also be used to change the assignments of the Bus Terminal data to the process image in the Bus Coupler. The functionality
of the configuration interface can also be reached via the fieldbus using string communication facility.

Electrical isolation

The Bus Couplers operate by means of three independent potential groups. The supply voltage feeds the K -Bus/E-Bus electronics in the Bus Coupler and the K-
Bus/E-Bus itself, which are electrically isolated. The supply voltage is also used to generate the operating voltage for the fieldbus.

Remark: All the Bus Terminals are electrically isolated from the K-Bus/E-Bus. The K-Bus/E-Bus is thus electrically isolated from everything else.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Parameterization and Commissioning

Start-up Behavior of the Bus Coupler

Immediately after being switched on, the Bus Coupler checks, in the course of a self test, all the functions of its components and the communication on the K -
Bus/E-Bus. The red I/O LED blinks while this is happening After completion of the self-test, the Bus Coupler starts to test the attached Bus Terminals (the Bus
Terminal Test), and reads in the configuration. The Bus Terminal configuration is used to generate an internal structure list, which is not accessible from outside.
In case of an error, the Bus Coupler enters the STOP state. Once the start-up has completed without error, the Bus Coupler enters the fieldbus start state.

The Bus Coupler can be made to enter the normal operating state by switching it on again once the fault has been rectified.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Parameterization and commissioning

Parameterization of the Bus Coupler using DIP Switches*

*) Firmware version B5 or higher

The following parameterizations can be carried out without using configuration software, with the aid of the DIP switches and the end terminal (KL9010).
This parameterization mode is only active if only one end terminal (KL9010) is inserted. Otherwise, the normal settings apply.

Restoring the manufacturer's settings

 Switch off the Bus Coupler, and plug in just the end terminal (KL9010).
 Set all the DIP switches to ON, and switch the Bus Coupler on again.
 Once the default parameters have successfully been set, the Error LED lights, and the I/O Run and I/O Error LEDs flash alternately.
 You can then switch the Bus Coupler off, connect the Bus Terminals, and continue as usual.
Setting the Ethernet parameters

 Switch off the Bus Coupler, and plug in just the end terminal (KL9010).
 Set all the DIP switches to OFF, and switch the Bus Coupler on again.
 The I/O RUN and I/O Error LEDs light steadily.
 Make the desired setting in accordance with the following table.

DIP switch Parameters Selection Setting Comment

10 MBaud OFF (0)
1 Baud Rate
100 MBaud ON (1) Default
Disable OFF (0)
2 Auto-Baud-Rate
Enable ON (1) Default
Half duplex OFF (0)
3 Transmission type
Full duplex ON (1) Default

 To accept the values, set DIP switch 10 to ON.

By flashing the I/O RUN and I/O ERR LEDs the Bus Coupler indicates that it has accepted the parameters.
 You can then switch the Bus Coupler off, connect the Bus Terminals, and continue as usual.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Ethernet

Network Classes
Three different network classes are distinguished. They specify how many address bits are reserved for the Network -ID and how many for the computer number
(or node number). The difference is located in the first 3 bits of the IP address.

Network- Number of bits Possible number Number of bits for Possible number of
class for the Network ID of networks the node address nodes per network
A 7 126 24 16 777 214
B 14 16 382 16 65 536
C 21 2 097 150 8 254

Unique IP address

An IP address must be unique within the entire connected network!

Note

Same network class

In a communication with another Ethernet devices, the IP address set must have the same network class. Example: Your PC has address
172.16.17.55, which means that the Bus Coupler must have address 172.16.xxx.xxx (each xxx stands for a number between 0...255. The 0 is
Note normally used for routers/switches, and should therefore be reserved).

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Addressing

IP Address
The IP address can be set using four different procedures, and these will be described in more detail below.

Procedure Explanation Necessary components

Address Configuration via ARP

An easy method of modifying the IP address is to set the address using the DOS window. It is, however, only possible to alter addresses within the same network
class. The new IP address that has been set remains stored even after the Bus Coupler has been switched off.

Procedure

 Set DIP switches 9 and 10 to OFF. DIP switches 1-8 then no longer have any address function.
 Open a DOS box on your PC.
 Enter the command "ping <OLD IP address>" to create an entry in the ARP table.
 Read the table with the command "ARP -a".
 Enter "ARP -d <OLD IP address>" to remove the Bus Coupler from the table.
 Use "ARP -s <NEW IP address> <MAC-ID>" to make an entry manually.
 With "ping -l 123 <NEW IP address>" the new IP address becomes valid.

A short flash from the ERROR LED at the moment of switching on indicates that the Bus Coupler is being addressed by ARP, and that DIP switches 1 -8 give no
indication of the address that is set.

Changing the IP address

When the IP address is changed, all the dynamic ARP entries should be cleared. To change the IP address it is one ping with the length of 123
bytes is permitted for reconfiguration of the IP address (<ping -l "IP address>) necessary.
Note

Example

1. C:>ping 172.16.17.255
2. C:>arp -a
172.16.17.255 00-01-05-00-11-22
3. C:>arp -d 172.16.17.255
4. C:>arp -s 172.16.44.44 00-01-05-00-11-22
5. C:>ping -l 123 172.16.44.44

Addressing via Beckhoff BootP Server

Connecting to the BootP Server
BootP server: ftp://ftp.beckhoff.com/Software/TwinCAT/Unsupported%20Utilities/TcBootP%20Server/

How to use the BootP server

Use the BootP server with the BK9105 in one of two ways:

1. Statically store an IP address by switching all the dip switches 1-9 to the on position

When choosing this mode, power cycling the BK9105 with the dip switches set to ON 1-9 will keep the IP address set by the BootP server. The BootP server
does not need to be present after this point.

2. Dynamically set an IP address that is assigned by the BootP by turning on only dip switch 9

Be sure to configure the BootP server with the Mac ID of the BK9105 and the desired IP address.

Then, start the server and reboot the BK9105. The error led will blink for 10 to 15 seconds and stop after an IP address is established. After a connection and an
IP address are established, the following time stamp appears:
Note: It is not possible to change dip switches 1-9 for a static IP address. They must remain on. If using the BootP server to assign the address every time the
BK9105 is powered on, make sure dip switch 9 is on.

BECKHOFF BK9105: Parametrization and commissioning

Addressing via Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3

IP address save modes
DIP switches 1-8 in the ON position

The address assigned by the BootP server is stored, and the BootP service will not be restarted after the next cold start.

The address can be cleared again by reactivating the manufacturers' settings (using the KS2000 software or with the DIP switch and end terminal).

DIP switches 1-8 in the OFF position

The IP address assigned by the BootP server is only valid until the Bus Coupler is switched off. The BootP server must assign a new IP address to the Bus
Coupler at the next cold start.
The address is, however, retained through a software reset of the Bus Coupler

Switch the DIP Switch 1-8 ON or OFF and DIP 9-10 ON.

Take note that the dip switches 1-8 no longer hold any addressing capabilities.

The MAC Address begins with 00-01-05-xx-xx-xx (see under the BK9105 to find the MAC address).
After a successful addressing you can disable the BOOTP addressing.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Addressing

Address Configuration via DHCP Server

To set the address by means of a DHCP server, set DIP switch 9 to OFF (0) and DIP switch 10 to ON (1).

In this state, the DHCP service is switched on, and the Bus Coupler is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server.
For this purpose the DHCP server must know the Bus Coupler's MAC-ID and should assign the same IP-Address to this MAC-ID at every startup!

The TCP/IP Error LED flashes while the address is being allocated.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Addressing

Subnet mask
The subnet mask is subject to the control of the network administrator, and specifies the structure of the subnet.

Small networks without a router do not require a subnet mask. The same is true if you do not use registered IP numbers. A subnet mask can be used to subdivide
the network with the aid of the mask instead of using a large number of network numbers.
The subnet mask is a 32-bit number.

 Ones in the mask indicate the subnet part of an address region.

 Zeros indicate that part of the address region which is available for the host IDs.

Description Binary representation Decimal representation

IP address 10101100.00010000.00010001.11001000 172.16.17.200

B 255.255.0.0 FF.FF.00.00
C 255.255.255.0 FF.FF.FF.00
Addressing
Neither subnet 0 nor the subnet consisting only of ones may be used.

Neither host number 0 nor the host number consisting only of ones may be used!

If the IP address is set using the KS2000 configuration software, it is necessary for the subnet mask also to be changed with the KS2000
configuration software.
Note
If ARP addressing is used, the associated standard subnet mask, based on the IP address, is entered.

Under BootP or DHCP the subnet mask is entered by the server.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Addressing

Testing the IP Address

Use the Ping command to test the IP address.

BECKHOFF Fieldbus Components: Ethernet

Reading the MAC-ID

Proceed as follows to read the MAC-ID.

 Change the IP address on your PC to 172.16.x.x and the Subnet mask to 255.255.0.0
The IP address when supplied by the manufacturer on the BC9000 and BK9000 is 172.16.17.255 (DIP switches 1 to 8 are set to ON).
The IP address of the IP67 Fieldbus Boxes are set to 172.16.18.(rotary switch setting).
 Start the DOS Window
 Send a Ping to IP address 172.16.17.xxx
 Read the MAC-ID with arp -a.

EthernetIP Tag Wizard

Mapping

The BK9105 can be mapped as short integer (byte), integer (word), or double integer (double word).
In the following description it is mapped as double integer!
Note

Installation
 Download the file EIPTOOL.zip from this CHM-File by double click on the following symbol:
 Extract all the contained files from the ZIP file into a folder (e.g. BK9105helper) on your PC
 Start the EtherNetIPConfigTool.exe

Overview
This application note covers how to use the EthernetIP Tag Wizard. After reading this note you will be able to build a rack of Beckhoff IO and automatically
import it into RSLogix 5000. Not only will the nodes be automatically created, but the IO will have an exact description in the IO map.

Supporting Documents and References

Put link to BK9105 here, as well as the link to the EIP tool.

Key Concepts

With this tool a user will be able to create the Beckhoff IO Rack, save the IO mapping configuration and Import that configuration into RSLogix 5000. RSLogix
5000 does not need to be installed on the PC you have the Tag Wizard on, however it will be convenient.

Procedure

To get started we have to have an RSLogix configuration with a minimum of a processor and Ethernet IP Master. If you are simply adding a rack to an existing
configuration, this process will be the same.
All one has to do is simply save this configuration as an .L5K file to the desired location. In this example, all files are saved to the root directory of the Tag
Wizard.

Once the RSLogix 5000 configuration is saved please minimize and open up the folder where the tag wizard is stored. In this folder you will find a couple
reference files. The EthernetIPMaster.txt is very important. This is a text file that stores the name that Rockwell gives its scanners. If your scanner is NOT in the
list, please feel free to add it. It is VERY important that the scanner is added just as it appers in your .L5K file.
At this point all one has to do is double click on EtherNetIPConfigTool.exe and it will open. Once open, add your BK9105 or IL230x -B905 to the configuration.

When adding your coupler you will be prompted to enter the correct IP address.

If you select the Field Bus Box IL230X-B905 you will be prompted additionally with the following.

The software automatically is adding the 230x combo box to your configuration.

At this point you simply add the IO to your configuration in the order that they are left to right on the coupler, by simply double clicking on the
correct terminal.
Once you have all the IO added in the correct order, you have a couple different selections as to how to save review or export this data. To review, all one has to
do is simply select the coupler you want to review and then Report>Coupler (Or network [If network is selected only the first coupler will show graphically but
the mapping below is correct])

All one has to do at this point to save or export the data is File>Save XML (this saves the configuration to a XML file, File>Save Network Report (saves so as
you can print it for machine documentation) Save>Configuration (If you want to add to this configuration in the future) and File>Save To L5K file.
When saving to a L5K file you are prompted to select the correct Ethernet IP master (This list is read from the text file mentioned earlier).

Once we have the master selected then choose OK.

Next you will be prompted to select the correct path to the stored .L5K file, and select Open. Once opened you will notice a AB.L5K file in the same directory
you saved the original L5K file.

Go back to RSLogix 5000, File>Open>

Select the NEW .L5K file then Import

Now to check out all of the new IO

Please note to look in the Controller tags for not only did the software create new module defined tags, it labeled them accordingly in the Logical
order, NOT the phyical order.
 Coupler Status and Coupler Control

After the import is successful, please see that the Coupler Status and Coupler Control is described at the bit level. Also the status and control
for each complex channel is defined with the HBYTE->Empty LBYTE Status or Ctrl as the upper byte is padded.

BECKHOFF BK9055, BK9105: Error handling and diagnosis

Diagnostic LEDs
After switching on, the Bus Coupler immediately checks the connected configuration. Error-free start-up is indicated when the red I/O ERR LED goes out. If the
I/O ERR LED blinks, an error in the area of the terminals is indicated. The error code can be determined from the frequency and number of blinks. This permits
rapid rectification of the error.

The Bus Coupler has two groups of LEDs for the display of status. The upper group with four LEDs indicates the status of the respective fieldbus. The
significance of the fieldbus status LEDs is explained in the appropriate sections of this manual. It corresponds to the usual fieldbus display.

On the upper right hand side of the Bus Couplers are two more green LEDs that indicate the supply voltage. The left hand LED indicates the presence of the
24 V supply for the Bus Coupler. The right hand LED indicates the presence of the supply to the power contacts.

First Steps
Mapping

The BK9105 can be mapped as short integer (byte), integer (word), or double integer (double word).
In the following description it is mapped as double integer!
Note

Addressing with the BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3

Switch the DIP Switch 1-8 OFF and DIP 9-10 ON.

The MAC Address begins with 00-01-05-xx-xx-xx (see under the BK9105, here you find the MAC address).

After a successful addressing you can disable the BOOTP addressing.

Open RSLogix 5000 and Create a new PLC project

When creating a new project make sure to select the correct controller type and controller settings. In this example we are using a SoftLogix Virtual Chasis,
with the BK9105 (Beckhoff EthernetIP Bus coupler)

Add Ethernet IP Module

Now you need to add your main communications module. Make sure you know the IP address of the card that is setup as the EtherNet IP card, that address will
have to be set in the module settings along with the slot the card is in.

Add Ethernet IP Box

When adding the BK9105 box you must select the "ETHERNET-MODULE" as it is a generic Ethernet/IP device and we will configure it to work with our
BK9105.
Configuring the BK9105 in RSLogix

For the example here we used two KL1012 terminals and two KL2032. With these cards that gave us 2 words total of input and output data. On the properties
dialog you will need to change some of the box settings, please read below for recommendations on settings.

 IP Address (Refer to IP Address section of documentation)

 The Assembly Instances will be as follows
 Input: 101
 Output: 102
 Configuration: 100
 Things to keep in mind when entering the data size for I/O
 There will always be 4 bytes of input and 4 bytes of output data that is used for
 Digital IO each channel will consume 1 bit of process data.
 Complex IO please refer to terminal documentation for consumed data size.

Working with IO data

Download the code to the controller unit, once you go online you will be able to toggle IO. Keep in mind that the first DINT is the Status for both the input and
output data. At this point if you have the controller in RUN mode you will be able to toggle inputs and see the value in "bk9105:I.Data[1]" change and you
should be able to update the values in "bk9105:O.Data[1]" and see the outputs change.

 Mapping

The BK9105 can be mapped as short integer (byte), integer (word), or double integer (double word).
In the following description it is mapped as double integer!
Note

Process Image
The figure below illustrates the hardware of the Beckhoff node in this example.

The process image table (I/O map) is displayed in double word format below the figure.

In order to properly configure the Ethernet Bridge, the process image of the Beckhoff BK9105 node must be determined. When the coupler is powered up, it
automatically addresses the I/O modules of the node. The data for complex modules (modules using 2 or more bytes) are mapped first in the process image in
the order of their physical position after the coupler. As such, they start at Double word 3. Following this, the digital modules are grouped into the next available
Integer. The bits are arranged in the order of the modules location. When the number of digital points exceeds 32 (1 -double integer), the coupler automatically
starts the next Double Integer.

Note: The modules can be mapped as Byte, Word, or Double Word. The example below maps them as Double Word, using 2 digital input cards (KL1104,
KL1408), 2 digital output cards (KL2134, KL2408), 1 four channel analog input card (KL3064), 1 two channel analog output card (KL4002), and 1 High speed
counter card (KL5101).
