The Ethernet/IP FL IL 24 BK ETH/IP bus coupler from Phoenix Contact employs a 10/100BASE-TX conductor to connect inline stations to a superordinate Ethernet/IP network. The inline stations can consist of up to 63 modules and support up to 128 Ethernet connections. Dual seven-segment displays and an array of LEDs provide clear diagnoses, which results in fast installation, straightforward set up and convenient maintenance of the station. If the user is able to access the device's website via PC or laptop, diagnostic information such as bus coupler status or application errors assists in pinpointing failures arising from issues such as traffic overloads. An integrated error log saves the last 10 status changes involving recent disturbances.
This extensive inline automation system also features a Sercos IL SC BK-PAC bus coupler, which connects an Inline station consisting of up to 40 modules to the Sercos field bus system. The bus coupler is employed in machines and devices operating in the Sercos system, which is designed to collect I/O data without the need for additional bus systems. While the bus coupler acts as a slave in the Sercos system, it serves as a master in the underlying inline local bus. A Sercos slave's address can be conveniently and effortlessly set with a DIP switch located on the device's exterior.
