Product Description:

The KL3064-0000 is an analog input module manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the KL Analog Input Modules series. Intended for distributed I/O stations, it samples low-level process voltages and forwards the digitized values to a PLC or IPC through the internal terminal bus. By sitting directly on the same DIN rail as actuators and sensors, the module shortens signal paths, helping create compact, decentralized control architectures for packaging lines, HVAC plants, and factory automation.

This unit provides 4 single-ended channels for 0 to 10 V signals. Each channel is digitized with a 12-bit converter, delivering 4096 steps, which suits temperature, pressure, and position loops. All inputs share a common ground, so wiring is simple when sources use the same reference potential. The electronics are enclosed in a Polycarbonate housing that tolerates cabinet environments while keeping weight low. Mechanical attachment is through a 35 mm DIN rail clip, and the front shield connector bonds cable screens to earth to reduce electromagnetic interference on long runs. With no power contacts, field power is not routed through the slice, which helps reduce heat. The installation position is variable, allowing horizontal or vertical stacking in tight panels.

Galvanic separation gives the analog section 500 V of isolation from the logic domain, protecting upstream controllers against transients. Logic power arrives exclusively via the K-bus, removing the need for separate supply wiring and ensuring synchronized diagnostics across the terminal string. After conversion, each channel occupies a 4 x 16-bit field in the process image, so the controller can read status and value words without additional parsing. The terminal meets the IP20 protection class, making it finger-safe for mounting inside enclosed switchgear.
