Product Description:

The KL2545 Bus Terminal offers a 2 channel PWM output for current controlled operation. It handles voltages from 8 to 50 V DC and a maximum current of 3.5 A per channel. The module is designed for precise automation control with galvanic isolation and diagnostic LEDs.

The Beckhoff KL2545 bus terminal controls output current using pulse width modulation of the supply voltage. It is isolated from the K bus by 500 V and ensures safety against overloads and short circuits. The output is specified through a 16 bit value from the automation device. It supports two channels each capable of delivering ± 3.5 A current for inductive loads such as valves and coils over 1 mH. The terminal operates with a PWM clock frequency of 36 kHz and offers a duty cycle between 0 and 100 % that provides accurate current control. The maximum resolution for output adjustment is 12 bits to ensure fine precision in application. The current consumption from power contacts is approximately 30 mA plus the load while the K-bus consumption is typically 100 mA. LEDs on each channel of the terminal provide clear status indication for load conditions and wiring faults. The terminal is designed to work reliably under short circuit and thermal overload conditions for both channels combined.

The KL2545 bus terminal features a housing constructed from high strength flame retardant polycarbonate (PC) material compliant with UL 94 V-0 standards. The enclosure dimensions are precisely 24 mm in width, 100 mm in height, and 68 mm in depth. This ensures compact integration into DIN rail mounted control systems. The model’s polycarbonate housing offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress, thermal deformation and electrical insulation breakdown.
