BK9500 - Bus Coupler for USB

Configuration by means of the TwinCAT System Manager

Insert a virtual USB interface under I/O devices in the TwinCAT System Manager. If Bus Couplers are already connected to the USB network, the system manager can automatically read these too. In this way the configuration of all the connected Bus Couplers and Bus Terminals is loaded. It is then possible to adapt this configuration to your particular needs in the System Manager.

Adding a virtual USB interface

Stop the TwinCAT system

Note

Older TwinCAT versions

For older TwinCAT versions (see chapter Troubleshooting), the TwinCAT system must be stopped for automatic reading of the connected USB couplers!

Note

Display of control and status bytes of the connected terminals

For terminals,

•: which otherwise can optionally be operated with compact or complete process image, the BK9500 USB coupler only supports the compact process image. That means that the BK9500 does not display the control and status bytes of these terminals in the process image.

•: For terminals, which require the complete process image for operation, the BK9500 USB coupler naturally supports this. That means that the BK9500 displays the control and status bytes of these terminals in the process image.
