2.1BK9055 - Introduction
Fig.1: BK9055
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 1to 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
10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s Ethernet. Connection is through normal RJ45 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.

The BK9105 contains a 3-port switch. Two ports operate external on RJ 45 connectors and can be utilized.
The I/O stations can thus be configured with a line 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 100m. Up to 20 BK9105 Bus Couplers are cascadable, so that a maximum line length of
2km can be achieved.

2.4The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system
Up to 256 Bus Terminals, with 1 to 16I/O channels per 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. Up to 255 Bus Terminals can be connected via the K-bus extension. For each
BK9055 and BK910510Version: 2.0.0
Product overview
technical signal form, terminals are available with one, two, four or eight I/O channels, which can be mixed
as required. 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.
Decentralised 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 decentralised 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.
Mounting on standardized mounting rails
The installation is standardized thanks to the simple and space-saving mounting on a standardized mounting
rail (EN60715, 35mm) and the direct wiring of actuators and sensors, without cross connections between
the terminals. The consistent labelling scheme also contributes.
The small physical size and the great flexibility of the Bus Terminal system allow 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.
BK9055 and BK910511Version: 2.0.0
Product overview
Up to 64Bus Terminals can be used in a terminal block, with optional K-bus extension for up to 256Bus
Terminals. 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.
2.5Ethernet
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 IEEE802.3 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). Using Ethernet, different
topologies can be built such as ring, line or star.
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 standardised, reliable data exchange between any numbers of different
networks. TCP/IP was developed to provide standardised, reliable data exchange between any numbers of
different networks. 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 handling mechanisms. Lost telegrams are repeated.
BK9055 and BK910512Version: 2.0.0
Product overview
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.

3.1Dimensions
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.
Fig.3: Dimensions
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
24mm wide. The front wiring increases the total height of 68 mm by about 5 to 10mm, depending on the
wire thickness.

3.2Installation on mounting rails
WARNING
Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!
Bring the Bus Terminals system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or
wiring of the Bus Terminals.
Mounting
The Bus Couplers and Bus Terminals are attached to commercially available 35mm mounting rails (DIN rail
according to EN60715) 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 slot and key 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.
Fixing of mounting rails
The locking mechanism of the terminals and couplers extends to the profile of the mounting rail. At
the installation, the locking mechanism of the components must not come into conflict with the fixing
bolts of the mounting rail. To mount the mounting rails with a height of 7.5mm under the terminals
and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk screws or blind rivets).
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 1cm out of the terminal to be disassembled, 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.
BK9055 and BK910515Version: 2.0.0
Mounting and wiring
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. Power Feed Terminals (KL91xx, KL92xx
and EL91xx, EL92xx) interrupt the power contacts and thus represent the start of a new supply rail.
PE power contact
The power contact labelled 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 125A.
NOTE
Risk of damage to 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 230V).
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 Power Feed Terminals can be released and pulled at
least 10mm from the group of terminals.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
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 safely and permanently.
Shielding
Analog sensors and actuators should always be connected with shielded, pair-wise twisted cables.
3.3Power supply, potential groups
Power supply for the Bus Coupler
The Bus Couplers require a 24 VDC supply for their operation. The connection is made by means of the upper
spring-loaded terminals labelled 24V and 0V. 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.
Power supply for the 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 24V.
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 10A for long periods. The current carrying capacity between two spring-loaded terminals is identical
to that of the connecting wires.
BK9055 and BK910516Version: 2.0.0
Mounting and wiring
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 cannot 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, EK1x00)
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 KBus/E-Bus electronics in the Bus Coupler and the K-Bus/E-Bus itself in an electrically isolated manner. The
supply voltage is also used to generate the operating voltage for the fieldbus.
Note: All Bus Terminals are electrically isolated from the K-Bus/E-bus. The K-Bus/E-bus is therefore
completely electrically isolated.

4.1Start-up behaviour 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.
Fig.5: Start-up behaviour of the Bus Coupler
The Bus Coupler can be made to enter the normal operating state by switching it on again once the fault has
been rectified.
4.2Parameterization 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/OError 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.

• 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.
4.3Network classes
Three different network classes are distinguished. They determine how many address bits are reserved for
the network ID and how many for the node number (e.g. for PCs or Bus Couplers). The difference is located
in the first three bits of the IP address.

An IP address must be unique within the entire connected network!
Fig.6: Network classes
Identical network class
In a communication with another Ethernet devices, the IP address set must have the same network
class. Sample: Your PC has the address 172.16.17.55, which means the coupler must have the address 172.16.xxx.xxx (xxx stands for a number between 0 and 255.0 is usually used by the router/
switch and should therefore remain reserved).
In order to see the PC's own address, the command ipconfig can be entered into a DOS window under
Windows NT/2000/XP.

Parametrization and commissioning
4.4.2Address 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> [}30]" 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.
Example
1. C:>ping 172.16.17.255
2. C:>arp -a
172.16.17.25500-01-05-00-11-22
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

4.4.3Address configuration via BootP server
4.4.3.1Addressing via Beckhoff BootP Server
BootP Server
Disable all other Ethernet adapter in your “network connections” before you start the BootP Server.
You have then only one Ethernet adapter which you can use for BootP.
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
Fig.8: Beckhoff BootP Server - DIP switch settings for statically stored IP address
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
Fig.9: Beckhoff BootP Server - DIP switch settings for dynamically set IP address
Be sure to configure the BootP server with the Mac ID of the BK9105 and the desired IP address.
BK9055 and BK910525Version: 2.0.0
Parametrization and commissioning
Fig.10: Beckhoff BootP server configuration - Start
Then, start the server and reboot the BK9105. After a connection and an IP address are established, the
following time stamp appears:
BK9055 and BK910526Version: 2.0.0
Parametrization and commissioning
Fig.11: Beckhoff BootP server configuration - Time Stamp
Regard dip switch 9 for dynamically set IP address
It is not possible to change dip switches 1 to 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.
4.4.3.2Addressing via Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3
IP address save modes
DIP switches 1 to 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 [}27]).
DIP switches 1 to 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 to 8 ON or OFF and DIP 9-10 ON.
BK9055 and BK910527Version: 2.0.0
Parametrization and commissioning
Take note that the dip switches 1 to 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).
Fig.12: Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3 - MAC address
After a successful addressing you can disable the BOOTP addressing.
BK9055 and BK910528Version: 2.0.0
Parametrization and commissioning
Fig.13: Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3 - successful addressing
4.4.4Setting the address using a 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.
The DHCP server must know the MAC ID of the Bus Coupler and should assign the same IP address to this
MAC ID on each startup.
The TCP/IP error LED flashes while the address is being allocated.
4.4.5Subnet 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 space.
• Zeros indicate that part of the address space which is available for the host IDs.
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.
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 transmitted also by the server.
4.4.6Testing the IP address
To test the IP address you can use the Ping command in a Windows prompt.
Fig.14: Testing the IP address using the Ping command
4.4.7Reading 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.

4.5.2EthernetIP 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!
Installation
• Download the file EIPTOOL.zip from this CHM-File click on the following Link (https://
infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/bk9055_bk9105/Resources/zip/4524990475.zip)
• 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.

Error handling and diagnosis
5Error handling and diagnosis
5.1Diagnostic 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 24V supply for the Bus Coupler. The right hand LED
indicates the presence of the supply to the power contacts.

6.1First 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!
Addressing with the BOOTP/DHCP Server 2.3
Switch the DIP Switch 1 to 8 OFF and DIP 9 to 10 ON.
The MAC Address begins with 00-01-05-xx-xx-xx (see under the BK9105, here you find the MAC address).
Fig.46: First Steps - Addressing - Step 1
After a successful addressing you can disable the BOOTP addressing.

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.
Fig.49: First Steps - Add Ethernet IP Module
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.
Fig.50: First Steps - Add Ethernet IP Box
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.
BK9055 and BK910556Version: 2.0.0
• 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 4bytes of input and 4bytes of output data that is used for
◦ Digital IO each channel will consume 1bit of process data.
◦ Complex IO please refer to terminal documentation for consumed data size.
Appendix
Fig.51: First Steps - Configure the BK9105 in RSLogix
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.

6.2First Steps - Example
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!
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).
