Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of the BC810K02 unit?

The BC810K02 increases CEX-Bus availability by creating separate segments. This prevents single points of failure in communication networks.

Can I replace components while the system runs?

Yes, the unit supports hot-swap operation. You can replace CPU baseplates without stopping CEX-Bus traffic in redundant configurations.

What power supply does this unit require?

The BC810K02 needs 24V DC nominal power. It operates within 19.2V to 30V DC range with typical 50mA current draw.

Which controllers work with this interconnection unit?

It supports PM857 through PM891 controllers. The unit integrates with AC 800M series for complete automation solutions.

How does redundancy improve system reliability?

Dual BC810 units create redundant communication paths. If one unit fails, the other maintains CEX-Bus operation automatically.
