The Economy plus version extends the existing PROFIBUS Bus Coupler series BK3xx0. The K-bus extension technology allows the connection of up to 255 spatially distributed Bus Terminals to one Bus Coupler. The BK3120 has been designed to accommodate automation requirements. The PROFIBUS protocols omit FMS operation in order to be able to transfer more user data in DP mode, which for this Bus Coupler type can be 128 byte inputs and 128 byte outputs. The BK3120 incorporates the PROFIBUS DP V1 services. These services allow direct access to the Bus Coupler register and the complex Bus Terminals in order, for example, to change the parameterization or to set/correct limit values for analog Bus Terminals.

The BK3120 BECKHOFF PROFIBUS Economy plus Bus Coupler may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The Beckhoff BK3120 is a "Economy plus" PROFIBUS Bus Coupler designed for high-speed fieldbus communication in industrial automation, featuring PROFIBUS DP V1 services for direct register access and advanced diagnostics. It acts as the interface between the PROFIBUS network and Beckhoff Bus Terminals (K-bus), supporting up to 64 terminals directly, or up to 255 with K-bus extension. 
  • Body Shop & Paint Lines: Manages digital signals for robotic arm movements and proximity sensors
  • Bottle Filling & Packaging: Used in high-speed conveyors to monitor photo-eyes and control solenoid valves
  • Wafer Processing: Supports precision automation tasks from wafer production to chip packaging
  • CNC Centers: Found in vertical machining centers (e.g., Homag machines) for real-time control of axis limits and tool changers
  • Hygienic Control: Often housed in stainless steel control cabinets to manage I/O for cleanroom-standard machinery

Power Supply: Connect a 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) supply to the designated terminals. This powers both the coupler's internal electronics and the K-bus.
Power Contacts: Use the separate feed-in points to provide power for the field devices (sensors/actuators). These contacts can handle up to 10 A.
PROFIBUS Connection: Use a standard D-sub 9-pin socket with shielded copper cable. Ensure the cable is properly grounded to the shell for noise immunity.
