Product Description:

The model KL2424 is a 4 Channel Digital Output Bus Terminal designed for 24 V DC operation. It connects binary control signals to actuators while providing electrical isolation. Each channel supports signal status indication through LEDs and allows direct connection of 2 wire sensors.

The Beckhoff KL2424 bus terminal provides four independent outputs each capable of handling up to 2.0 A of short circuit proof current. The bus terminal is designed to support multiple load types including purely resistive (ohmic), inductive and lamp based loads. It incorporates integrated reverse polarity protection to prevent damage during incorrect wiring. Each output channel is capable of handling switching operations with a maximum breaking energy of less than 1.7 joules that ensures safe operation even under inductive load conditions. The terminal is optimized for high switching reliability and protection against voltage spikes caused by inductive kickback. The short circuit current is limited to below 70 A. Electrical isolation is rated at 500 V between the K-bus and the field potential. The current consumption for the power contacts is typically 30 mA plus the connected load while the K bus consumes around 9 mA. The terminal uses a 2 wire connection system and supports direct wiring of four 2 wire sensors. For installation, it offers four ground connection points and utilizes signal state LEDs for status indication.

The stripping length for wiring of the KL2424 bus terminal is specified as 8 to 9 mm. The maximum current load supported by the power contacts is 10 A. The terminal's enclosure conforms to IP20 protection class and allows for variable installation positions. The total weight of the model is approximately 70 grams. These specifications makes this model a compact and efficient choice for distributed automation systems.
