Beckhoff BK9000 I/O Modules
Beckhoff Automation provides stackable Input/Output modules for the Beckhoff BK9000, BK9050 and BK9100-series ethernet/ modbus bus couplers. For more information about the details of each specific Beckhoff I/O module, please consult the Beckhoff Automation website, and do a search for the specific module.
Getting started
CDP Studio ModbusIO supports Digital and Analog input and output modules using the complex process image. To see which modules are supported, drag in a Beckhoff-BK9000-Series-TCP from the ModbusIO Resource tree, and expand the BeckhoffIOModules resource. The bus couplers typically have a base IP Address of 172.16.17.x (settable via DIP-switches), but the Beckhoff bus coupler might need to be set up using the proprietary KS2000 software which can be obtained from Beckhoff Automation.
The Beckhoff 9000 Series accepts reads from modbus address 0x0 and writes are accepted to modbus address 0x800.
Note: Make sure to set the FunctionCode correctly, or there will be communication problems.
Note: In CDP Studio, I/O numbering start at 0, meaning that the first channel has the number 0.
