BL20 offers modules for practically all applications: Digital input and output modules Analog input and output modules Technology modules (counters, RS232 interface...) A complete BL20 station counts as one station on the bus and therefore occupies one fieldbus address...
BL20 Components BL20 Components For a detailed explanation of the individual BL20 components, please refer to chapter 2 and chapter 4. The "Appendix" to this manual contains (amongst others) a list of all BL20 components and the assignment of electronics modules to base modules. 2.2.1 Gateways The gateway connects the fieldbus to the I/O modules.
BL20 Philosophy The power supply for gateways and I/O modules is fed to the power distribution modules; therefore, it is not necessary to supply each individual module with a separate voltage. Figure 2-2: Power distribu- tion module 2.2.3 Electronics Modules Electronics modules contain the functions of the BL20 modules (power distribution modules, digital and analog input/output modules, and technology modules).
BL20 Components Figure 2-4: Electronics module in block design 2.2.4 Base Modules The field wiring is connected to the base modules. These are constructed as terminals in block and slice designs and are available in the following variations with either tension clamp or screw connections: 2- /3-wire (2-channel), 4-wire (2-channel) and 4x 2-/3-wire (4-channel).

Short description of CANopen CANopen Note The following description of CANopen is an excerpt from the homepage of CiA (CAN in Automation), the international users’ and manufacturers’ organization for CAN. 3.1.1 General CANopen is an open, non-proprietary network protocol. It consists of a profile family, based on a communication profile and several device profiles.
CANopen 3.1.2 Communication The lower layers of CANopen are defined according to the ISO-OSI model in the ISO 11898 standard. Communication between the individual nodes is made by transmitting "Telegrams". 4 different types of telegram message are defined for CANopen: Network management messages Service data objects SDO Process data objects PDO...
Short description of CANopen Process Data Objects (PDOs) Process Data Objects (PDOs) are mapped to a single CAN frame using up to 8 bytes of the data field to transmit application objects. Each PDO has a unique identifier and is transmitted by only one node, but it can be received by more than one (producer/consumer communication).
BL20 and CANopen BL20 and CANopen BL20 supports the following CANopen functions: SDO transfer, any length of information Emergency object Sync frame evaluation Event-driven PDOs Synchronous PDOs (clock-synchronous) Remote-requested PDO/polling D301087 1211 - BL20 CANopen...

The behavior of the analog inputs is now adapted to the actual CANopen standard DS401. The firmware versions ≥ 4.02 for BL20-GW-CANOPEN and version ≥ 2.02 for BL20-GWBR- CANOPEN are thus not compatible with older firmware versions relating to the behavior of the analog inputs.
Function Function The BL20 gateways enable BL20 modules to operate on CANopen. The gateway is the connection between the BL20 modules and a CANopen host system. It regulates the process data between the I/O level and the fieldbus and generates diagnostic data for the higher-level host system. Information is made available to the software tool I/O-ASSISTANT via the service interface.

Guidelines for Station Planning Random Module Arrangement The arrangement of the I/O-modules within a BL20 station can basically be chosen at will. Nevertheless, it can be useful with some applications to group certain modules together. Note The mixed usage of base modules with screw connections and base modules with tension clamp connections requires a further power supply module to be mounted.
Page 57
Random Module Arrangement The following overview shows the maximum number of channels possible, on condition that the entire station is made up of that respective type of channel only: Table 6-1: Channels Modules Maximum system extension Type Max. no. Type Max.
Guidelines for Station Planning Power Supply 6.2.1 Gateway Supply Note On a BL20 station including a gateway without integrated power supply unit, the first module to be mounted after the gateway is a Bus Refreshing module with either a BL20-P3x-SBB or a BL20-P4x-SBBC base module with tension clamp or screw connection.
Page 59
Power Supply Example 2: The BL20 station comprises 15 BL20-1AI-U(-10/0...+10VDC) modules, 10 BL20-2AO-U(-10/0...+10VDC) modules, 10 BL20-2DI-24VDC-P modules and 5 BL20-2DO-24VDC-0.5A-P modules. The required number of Bus Refreshing modules is calculated as follows: Gateway 430 mA 15 BL20-1AI-U(-10/0...+10VDC) 15 x 41 mA 615 mA 10 BL20-2AO-U(-10/0...+10VDC) 10 x 43 mA...

Page 61
Power Supply If the power supply from the module bus is not guaranteed, thereby making a further Bus Refreshing module necessary, the software I/O-ASSISTANT generates an error message when the user activates the command “Station → Verify“. Note Bus Refreshing modules which do not supply the gateway with power are to be combined with either a BL20-P3T-SBB-B or a BL20-P4T-SBBC-B (tension clamp connection) base module or with the base modules BL20-P3S-SBB-B or BL20-P4S-SBBC-B (screw connection).
Guidelines for Station Planning 6.2.3 Creating Potential Groups Bus Refreshing and Power Feeding modules can be used to create potential groups. The potential isolation of potential groups to the left of the respective power distribution modules is provided by the base modules.
Power Supply 6.2.5 C-Rail (Cross Connection) The C-rail runs through all base modules. The C-rail of the base modules for power distribution modules is mechanically separated; thus potentially isolating the adjoining supply groups. Access to the C-rail is possible with the help of base modules with a C in their designation (for example, BL20-S4T-SBCS).
Guidelines for Station Planning Figure 6-6: Gateway 2 DO 2 DI 2 DO 2 DI 2 DO 2 DI 2 DO 2 DI Using the C-rail as a protective earth terminal C-rail (PE) C-rail (PE) SBBC SBBC SBBC SBBC C-rails can be used for a common voltage supply when relay modules are planned. To accomplish this, the load voltage is connected to a Power Feeding module with the BL20-P4x-SBBC base module with tension clamp or screw connection.
Plugging and Pulling Electronics Modules Plugging and Pulling Electronics Modules BL20 enables the pulling and plugging of electronics modules without having to disconnect the field wiring. The BL20 station remains in operation if an electronics module is pulled. The voltage and current supplies as well as the protective earth connections are not interrupted.
Guidelines for Station Planning Extending an Existing Station Attention Please note that extensions to the station (mounting further modules) should be carried out only when the station is off-circuit. Once alterations have been made to the order of the modules on the BL20 station, the new configuration must be saved to the ”actual configuration memory”...
Firmware Download Firmware Download Firmware can be downloaded via the service interface on the gateway using the software tool I/O-ASSISTANT. More information is available in the program’s online help. Attention The station should be disconnected from the fieldbus when downloading. Firmware must be downloaded by authorized personnel only.

Guidelines for Electrical Installation Potential Relationships 7.2.1 General The potential relationship of a CANopen system realized with BL20 modules is characterized by the following: The system’s power supply to the gateway, I/O modules and the field level is distributed via a Bus Refreshing module.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) BL20 products comply in full with the requirements pertaining to EMC regulations. Nevertheless, an EMC plan should be made before installation. Hereby, all potential electromechanical sources of interference should be considered such as galvanic, inductive and capacitive couplings as well as radiation couplings.
Guidelines for Electrical Installation Protect against high frequency interference signals Attention In order to comply with radiation limit values in accordance with EN 55 011/2 000, the supply lines of the power distribution module BL20-BR-24VDC-D for supplying the gateway with power are to be fed through a ferrite ring (BL20PS416-ZBX-405).
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 7.3.6 EMC Compliant Cabinet Installation Figure 7-4: EMC compliant cabinet installa- tion A Bonding straps Bonding straps connect inactive metal components, if it is not possible to create a large surface area contact. Use short bonding straps with large surface areas. B Mounting plates Mounting plates used to hold control components must have a large surface area contact with the cabinet housing.
Guidelines for Electrical Installation Shielding of cables Shielding is used to prevent interference from voltages and the radiation of interference fields by cables. Therefore, use only shielded cables with shielding braids made from good conducting materials (copper or aluminum) with a minimum degree of coverage of 80 %. The cable shield should always be connected to both sides of the respective reference potential (if no exception is made, for example, such as high-resistant, symmetrical, analog signal cables).
Potential Compensation Potential Compensation Potential differences can occur between installation components that are in separate areas and these are fed by different supplies, have double-sided conductor shields which are grounded on different installation components. A potential-compensation cable must be routed to the potential compensation. Danger Never use the shield as a potential compensation.
Guidelines for Electrical Installation Compensation cables and data cables should be routed as close together as possible, meaning the enclosed area should be kept as small as possible. Figure 7-6: Potential compensation between switch- gear cabinets Potential compensation 7.5.1 Switching Inductive Loads In the case of inductive loads, a protective circuit on the load is recommended.
Bus Connection Bus Connection An Open Style Connector (5-pole) is available for connecting the BL20-GWBR-CANopen to the CANopen fieldbus. The shield connection is made via the shielding braid of the cable. For detailed information about the bus connection of the gateway please refer to chapter 4.6, Connections of the data cables to BL20-GWBR-CANopen (page...
Guidelines for Electrical Installation Two-Pole Shield Connection The 2-pole shield connection can be used to connect signal-cable shielding to the base modules of analog input and output modules. A special tension-clamp operating tool (BL20-ZBW5-2) is required to mount the shield connection onto the base module. Figure 7-7: Two-pole shield connection for...
