The Beckhoff BK1120 is a standard EtherCAT bus coupler designed for DIN rail installation. It acts as the connection gateway between the EtherCAT main controller and Beckhoff EL series digital analog I/O terminals. This module converts EtherCAT fieldbus signals to the internal E-bus signal for terminal modules. It transmits real-time control data from CX series PLC industrial PCs to each I/O terminal, collects sensor input signals and outputs actuator driving signals synchronously. It supports cascading multiple I/O terminals on one DIN rail, realizing flexible distributed signal collection and control. It is the essential front-end bus adapter for all EtherCAT distributed automation systems.
