Characteristics BA: BK MIKRO9

1 Characteristics

BK MIKRO9 is a control system suitable for tool as well as for object and free space monitoring
applications.

The complete BK MIKRO9 system comprises

• a control unit (option: an expansion module),
• a sensor (scanner),
a connection cable.

2 Interfacing to the PLC

First: apply power

Apply 24V DC to the power connector. Refer to the according hardware manual.

Four light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front panel of the BK MIKRO9 control board
are used to indicate status information.

BA: BK MIKRO9 Profibus address

Second: connect Profibus

Connect the BK MIKRO9 controller to the PLC. Please use a cable within the specification of
Profibus. Use the pin assignment according to the Controller manual. Please do not plug in the
scanner before configuring the scanner type.

The control unit BK MIKRO9 supports several scanners, e.g.TK7, TK8, TK9. Those can be
selected with the configuration software BK Konfig9 or Profibus. Characteristics and technical
data can be seen in the according documentation.
By default the scanner TK8 is selected. The scanner type has to be modified before connecting
a scanner which does not correspond to the settings of the control unit. Due to different solution
as well as gear ratio can be set off movements which the maximum load limit exceeds and can
be damage the scanner.

Note:
Connecting a scanner, which does not correspond to the settings of the
control unit, can damage the scanner
Warning

3 Profibus address
The PROFIBUS address can be changed – preset is the address 50 dec.
You can change it:

by using the I/O module (refer to the hardware manual FSW1.11 or higher) or

by using the software “System Setup BK MIKRO9” which runs via USB on a computer.

Print screen of setting the Profibus address.

GSD File BA: BK MIKRO9

4 GSD File
Use the specific GSD file of BK MIKRO9 to make a project of the Profibus. The correct version
is named with: MSCT05CF.gsd.

Depending on your PLC the installation differs. Please follow the instructions of the PLC-manual.
Normally an installation has the following steps.

Start PLC software

Open the Hardware-Configuration and install the GSD File of the controller BK
MIKRO9. Actual it is only the BK MIKRO 8 PB mode available.

Allocate the correct Profibus address of the module.

PLC BA: BK MIKRO9

5 PLC
Some PLC’s have different ways to sequence words on the Profibus. Most SIEMENS PLC’s are
matching perfectly to our Byte/Word-Arrangement. Some FANUC PLC’s are changing “Little and
Big endian”. This means that the two bytes of a word are swapped. Some PLC’s are
interchanging Words and Bytes in other ways. Please refer to the manual of your PLC to check
interchanging.

The controller BK MIKRO9 (FSW1.11 or higher) has the ability to adapt “Little and Big endian”.
Please adjust “Little and Big endian” with the software “System Setup BK MIKRO9”.

Example of AW2 “Little and Big endian”:

BA: BK MIKRO9 Profibus Protocol

The software “System Setup BK MIKRO9” has a Diagnosis to check interchanging.
