Bus Coupler
BK9105 bus coupler acts as an Ethernet/IP slave and uses standard RJ45 connectors and auto-negotiates either a 10 Mbit/s or 100-Mbit/s Ethernet connection. The coupler is ODVA-certified and has an integrated, dual-port Ethernet switch that allows for flexible topology configurations. I/O nodes can be configured in a line topology as an alternative to the traditional star topology. Beckhoff Automation; 952/890-0000; www.beckhoffautomation.com
