Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.
Verify isolation from the supply.
Earth and short circuit.
Cover or enclose neighboring units that are live.
Follow the engineering instructions of the device concerned.
Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50 110-1/-2 (VDE 0 105 Part 100) may work on this device/system.
Before installation and before touching the device ensure that you are free of electrostatic
charge.
The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the protective earth (PE) or to the potential equa-
lization. The system installer is responsible for implementing this connection.
Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so that inductive or capacitive interfe-
rence do not impair the automation functions.
Install automation devices and related operating elements in such a way that they are well
protected against unintentional operation.
Suitable safety hardware and software measures should be implemented for the I/O interface so
that a line or wire breakage on the signal side does not result in undefined states in the automation devices.
Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the low voltage for the 24 volt supply. Only use power
supply units complying with IEC 60 364-4-41 (VDE 0 100 Part 410) or HD 384.4.41 S2.
Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must not exceed the tolerance limits given
in the specifications, otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous operation.
Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60 204-1 must be effective in all operating
modes of the automation devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not cause
restart.
Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or control cabinets must only be operated
and controlled after they have been installed with the housing closed. Desktop or portable units
must only be operated and controlled in enclosed housings.
Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of programs interrupted after a voltage
dip or failure. This should not cause dangerous operating states even for a short time. If necessary, emergency-stop devices should be implemented.
Wherever faults in the automation system may cause damage to persons or property, external
measures must be implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event of a fault or
malfunction (for example, by means of separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks etc.).
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the relevant regulations (e. g.
with regard to cable cross sections, fuses, PE).
All work relating to transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance must only be carried
out by qualified personnel. (IEC 60 364 and HD 384 and national work safety regulations).
All shrouds and doors must be kept closed during operation.

A complete BL20 station counts as one station on the bus and therefore occupies one fieldbus address
in any given fieldbus structure. A BL20 station consists of a gateway, power distribution modules and I/
O modules.
The connection to the relevant fieldbus is made via the bus-specific gateway, which is responsible for
the communication between the BL20 station and the other fieldbus stations.
The communication within the BL20 station between the gateway and the individual BL20 modules is
regulated via an internal module bus.
Note
The gateway is the only fieldbus-dependent module on a BL20 station. All other BL20
1
modules are not dependent on the fieldbus used.
Flexibility
All BL20 stations can be planned to accommodate the exact number of channels to suit your needs,
because the modules are available in block and slice design.
A BL20 station can contain modules in any combination, which means it is possible to adapt the system
to practically all applications in automated industry.
Compactness
The slim design of the BL20 modules (gateway 50.4 mm / 1.98 inch, slice 12.6 mm / 0.49 inch and block
100.8 mm / 3.97 inch) and their low overall height favor the installation of this system in confined
spaces.
Easy to handle
All BL20 modules, with the exception of the gateway, consist of a base module and an electronics
module.
The gateway and the base modules are snapped onto a mounting rail. The electronics modules are
plugged onto the appropriate base modules.
The base modules are designed as terminal blocks. The wiring is secured by tension clamp or screw
connection. The electronics modules can be plugged or pulled when the station is being commissioned
or for maintenance purposes, without having to disconnect the field wiring from the base modules.
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.
2.2.1Gateways
The gateway connects the fieldbus to the I/O modules. It is responsible for handling the entire process
data and generates diagnostic information for the higher-level master and the software tool
I/Oassistant.
Gateways with integrated power supply
The BL20 gateways BL20-GWBR-xxx offer an integrated power supply unit for feeding the gateway and
the connected I/O modules.
It is not necessary to supply each individual module with a separate voltage.
Figure 2-1:
Gateway
BL20-GWBR-PBDP
Gateways without power supply
Note
The gateways without integrated power supply unit need an additional power supply
module (bus refreshing module) which feeds the gateway an the connected I/O modules.
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
distribution
module
2.2.3Electronics modules
Electronics modules contain the functions of the BL20 modules (power distribution modules, digital
and analog input/output modules, and technology modules).
Electronics modules are plugged onto the base modules and are not directly connected to the wiring.
The assignment table in the Section "Ordering Information" of the "Appendix" shows the possible
combinations of electronics and base modules. They can be plugged or pulled when the station is
being commissioned or for maintenance purposes, without having to disconnect the field wiring from
the 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).
The assignment table in the Section "Ordering Information" of the "Appendix" shows the possible
combinations of electronics and base modules.
Figure 2-5:
Base module with
tension clamp
connection
With the BL20 ECO modules the electronics and connection technology is integrated into a single
housing. Thus, the selection of a base module is unnecessary. Within a station the ECO modules can be
combined with the modules with separate electronics/connection technology, provided that the base
modules feature tension spring connections.
An end plate on the right-hand side physically completes the BL20 station. An end bracket mounted
into the end plate ensures that the BL20 station remains secure on the mounting rail even when
subjected to vibration.
Figure 2-9:
end Plate
2.2.7End bracket
A second end bracket to the left of the gateway is necessary, as well as the one mounted into the end
plate to secure the station.
Jumpers (QVRs) are used to bridge a connection level of a 4-wire base module. They can be used to
connect potentials in relay modules (bridging the relay roots); thus considerably reducing the amount
of wiring.
Figure 2-11:
Jumpers
2.2.9Shield connection (gateway)
If the gateway is wired directly to the fieldbus, it is possible to shield the connection using an
attachment on the gateway.
Markers: for colored identification of connection levels of BL20 base modules.
Dekafix connector markers: for numbering the mounting slots on BL20 base modules.
Figure 2-13:
Marking material
2.2.11Shield connection, 2-pole for analog modules
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.
This chapter describes the general technical data valid for all BL20 modules.
The following chapters contain all information about the BL20 power supply and I/O modules.
Note
The parameter and diagnosis information of the individual modules correspond to those
determined in the bus configuration files (GSD- or EDS- files) which are described in the bus
specific manuals for the BL20 gateways with PROFIBUS-DP (Turck Documentation-No.:
English D300458), with DeviceNet (Turck Documentation-No.: English D300460).
Please refer to these manuals for the fieldbus-specific description of the diagnostic and
parameter data of the individual BL20 modules.
Note
The gateway’s technical data and the gateway’s diagnostic options are also described in the
bus-specific manuals for the BL20 gateways with PROFIBUS-DP (Turck Documentation-No.:
English D300458), with DeviceNet (Turck Documentation-No.: English D300460).

Danger
This device can cause radio disturbances in residential areas and in small industrial areas
(residential, business and trading). In this case, the operator can be required to take
appropriate measures to suppress the disturbance at his own cost.
Power Feeding modules distribute the required 24 V DC or 120/230 V AC field voltage to the I/O
modules. They are necessary when groups of modules with different potentials are planned within a
BL20 station, or if the rated supply voltage cannot be guaranteed. Power Feeding modules are
potentially isolated from the adjoining power supply module and modules to the left side.
Danger
Power Feeding modules cannot be used to distribute 5 V DC to BL20 gateways.
By using Power Feeding modules, it is not necessary to distribute power separately to each BL20
I/O module.
Power Feeding modules are available in slice design. They are mounted on to base modules with
tension clamp or screw connections. The dusty grey color of the base modules for Power Feeding
modules clearly distinguishes them from the base modules designed for BL20 I/O modules.
LED status indicators
Error signals and diagnostic statuses are indicated via LEDs on the module. The corresponding
diagnostic information is transmitted to the gateway via diagnostic bits.
The diagnostic functions monitor the supply voltages (system and field supply) supplied by the user for
undervoltage. The diagnostic functions indicate errors via the "DIA" LED and transmit the
corresponding diagnostic information to the gateway..

Bus Refreshing modules are used to distribute 5 V DC to the internal BL20 module bus, as well as to
distribute a nominal voltage of 24 V DC (permissible range according to EN 61 131-2) to the various
BL20 modules, when building up BL20 stations with gateways without integrated power supply.
The adjoining power supply module and modules to the left are potentially isolated.
Attention
When using BL20 gateways with an integrated power supply unit (BL20-GWBR-xxxx), no
additional Bus Refreshing module is needed to distribute 5 V DC to the internal BL20 module
bus, as well as the nominal voltage of 24 V DC.
Attention
When using Bus Refreshing modules, this must be mounted immediately to the right of the
gateway. This and a special base module guarantee the 5 V DC supply to the gateway.
Bus Refreshing modules eliminate the necessity to separately distribute the system or field voltage to
each BL20 I/O module. Depending on the planned application, it is possible to build tailor-made groups
of modules with different potentials by selecting appropriate Bus Refreshing modules. Bus Refreshing
modules are available in slice design. They are mounted on to base modules with tension clamp or
screw connections. The dusty grey color of the base modules for Bus Refreshing modules clearly
distinguishes them from the base modules designed for BL20 I/O modules.
LED status indicators
Error signals and diagnostic statuses are indicated via LEDs on the module. The corresponding
diagnostic information is transmitted to the gateway via diagnostic bits.

Digital input modules (DI) detect electrical high- and low-level values through the base module
connections and transmit the corresponding digital value to the gateway via the module bus.
The module bus electronics of the digital input modules are galvanically isolated from the field level via
an optocoupler. The module provides reverse polarity protection.
LED status indicators
Channel statuses are indicated by LEDs. Error signals from the I/O level are indicated by each module
via the "DIA" LED.
A continuously lit up red "DIA" LED indicates the failure of the module bus communication at the digital
input module.
