Product Description:

The KL1501 Bus Terminal is engineered for precise digital signal counting. It is designed by Beckhoff for industrial automation. The terminal contains one up/down counter together with two adjustable up or down counters. The terminal achieves signal processing accuracy based on EN 61131-2 type 1 standards. The terminal detects the '0' signal consistently when operating below 5 V DC.

The KL1501 Bus Terminal recognizes '1' signals reliably when operated above 15 V DC. The bus terminal uses 5 mA of input current per channel to function steadily. The operating voltage of this terminal measures 24 V DC while its tolerance spans between -15% and +20% of this value. The terminal accepts input from -3 to +5 V DC for '0' while '1' requires signals between 15 to 30 V DC. The terminal enables switching between up and down counting frequencies at a maximum of 2 kHz. The maximum counting frequency limit of the KL1501 Bus Terminal stands at 100 kHz. The output channels supply users with a 24 V DC voltage that operates within a 0.5 A current limit. The safety features of the system improve through short-circuit proofing of all output channels. The terminal requires a standard 50 mA from the K-bus power while directly obtaining its power supply from the power contacts.

The KL1501 Bus Terminal operating specifications extend from -25°C to +60°C. This terminal fulfills vibration tests according to EN 60068-2-6 while also complying with EN 60068-2-27 shock tests. This equipment maintains an IP20 rating to defend against solid foreign materials. A space-efficient positioning on DIN rails becomes possible with this Bus terminal. However, its input and output sections combine in a single compact structure. Each output channel of this terminal comes equipped with a 32-bit counter capacity. This enables long-duration counting operations.
