  • Page 6: Basic Principles

    Basic Principles Basic Principles Description of the BC2000 The BC2000 is a slave with PLC functionality. It has a fieldbus interface, the Lightbus. The bus terminal controller is programmable, and is programmed using the TwinCAT software in the IEC61131-3 programming languages.
  • Page 7 The bus terminal controller (BC) differs from the bus coupler (BK) in that in the bus terminal controllers addition to operating the terminal bus, a PLC task runs in the BC2000. Unlike bus couplers, the signals from the terminals are processed by the PLC task, while the fieldbus carries the in- and outputs of the PLC task.
  • Page 8: The Interfaces

    Fieldbus, terminal bus and I/O level are galvanically isolated. The interfaces A bus terminal controller has six different methods of connection. These interfaces are designed as plug connectors and as spring-loaded terminals. The Beckhoff BC2000 Lightbus coupler II/O-Lightbus Power LEDs...

  • Page 11: Mechanical Structure

    Mechanical structure The system of the Beckhoff bus terminals is characterised by low physical volume and high modularity. When planning a project it must be assumed that at least one bus terminal controller and a number of bus terminals will be used.

Diagnostic LEDs on the BC2000 The bus terminal controller interrogates the configuration of the bus terminals after it has been switched on, then performs exchange of data with the terminals.

    A single master system can be implemented with the Beckhoff Lightbus. A device types maximum of 254 slaves can be connected to one bus. In the BC2000 bus terminal controller, a station address between 1 and 254 is automatically selected during the start-up phase. The specifications for the system...
  • Page 17 The Beckhoff BC2000 Lightbus Coupler Master interfaces supporting the bus terminal controller are the PC cards C1220 as from Version 4.01, and the FC200x. These cards are supported by TwinCAT software as from version 2.6 (build 315). Fundamental properties of...

    The terminals that are assigned to the master are invisible to the bus terminal controller. If it is desired to make a terminal visible to both systems, the terminal must first be assigned to the BC2000, and then the data from the terminal are transmitted to the master via the PLC variables.
  • Page 19: Plc Cycle Time

    Before initiating the program, the bus terminal controller executes a terminal bus update, in order to interrogate the inputs. After the program has been executed, the BC2000 carries out another terminal bus update, in order to write the current outputs. The background time follows this.

    (Only for TwinCAT) TwinCAT offers two target platforms, the PC as a controller and the BC2000 coupler. For the program transfer with the bus terminal controller there are again two possibilities.
