Product Description:
The KL6201 Analog Input Module is manufactured by Beckhoff to provide effective communication with AS-Interface networks. This module is designed to fulfill the requirements of advanced fieldbus systems by ensuring robust communication, simplicity of integration, and long-term operational reliability. This input module has an IP20 protection rating, and it operates as an AS-Interface master terminal (M3), with one channel of communication supported.
This module can handle a maximum of 31 slaves for AS-Interface version 2.0 and up to 62 slaves for AS-Interface version 2.1, thus providing flexibility for network extension in different industrial applications. The KL6201 module accommodates both digital and analog slave types, hence being flexible for use in mixed device environments. This input module has a maximum cycle time of 5 milliseconds when exchanging data with up to 31 devices to enable quick and effective data exchange that is essential for time-critical automation processes. With this input module, the connection is established via 2 lines with spring force technology to ensure secure wiring that supports rapid installation and low maintenance. The operating temperature range from 0 to 55°C allows this input module to operate effectively in typical industrial environments without requiring additional cooling measures.
The current consumption on the K-bus for this input module is generally 55 mA to keep energy efficiency intact even when it is incorporated into large automation systems. The data handling in this module is possible with selectable bit width in the process image, either as 12 bytes, 22 bytes, or 38 bytes, with adjustable flexibility according to requirements. The configuration of the KL6201 analog module can be performed through the fieldbus parameter interface or DP-V1, or a Bus Coupler with the KS2000 software, which allows seamless integration into various fieldbus structures.
Frequently Asked Questions about KL6201:
Q: How does selectable bit width enhance the KL6201's application flexibility?
A: Selectable 12, 22, or 38 bytes allow the KL6201 to adapt to various system data requirements. It ensures optimal data mapping based on the application.
Q: Why is spring force technology used for the KL6201's connections?
A: Spring force technology ensures fast, vibration-resistant connections. It also reduces wiring errors during installation and maintenance.
Q: How does the KL6201 manage higher slave numbers in Version 2.1?
A: KL6201 supports 62 slaves for AS-Interface V 2.1, doubling its device handling capacity. This improves network scalability without changing hardware.
Q: Why is the IP20 protection rating important for the KL6201?
A: The IP20 rating means the KL6201 is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm. It is suitable for control cabinets but not exposed installations.
Q: How does automatic AS-Interface address assignment benefit KL6201 users?
A: Automatic addressing reduces configuration time in large systems. It simplifies scaling the network without manual input errors.
