Product Description:

The BK KL6301 is a small and robust analog input module designed for the twisted pair (TP) network for efficient field level communication. It is one of Beckhoff's KL Analog Input Modules series, which makes for reliable serial data transmission in industrial automation systems. The KL6301 is suited for connecting field devices that need reliable and consistent data transfer and has a single communication channel and fixed data transfer rate of 9600 baud.

KL6301 is designed for the point to point communication via 2-wire TP connection which simplifies wiring and ensures the signal integrity. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used for data transmission management to avoid network collision and improve the communication bandwidth utilization efficiency. The module therefore remains useful in systems with moderate data traffic and timing sensitivity.

The module has nominal voltage of 24 VDC with an accepted tolerance of voltage of -15% to +20%, compatible with common industrial power distribution systems. It has a typical K-bus current consumption of 55 mA enabling energy efficient operation and reducing load on control system power resources. In the process image, the bit width of both input and output is 24 bytes and it provides enough data mapping capability for most industrial sensor or actuator requirements. With an IP20 rating, the KL6301 is well suited for installation in a control cabinet or enclosure providing protection against dust and incidental contact. The variable installation position offers flexibility in system design particularly for modular applications

The KL6301 operates over a temperature range of 0 to 55C and a storage range of 12 to 105C and is reliable in standard industrial environments. A dependable solution, the KL6301 is compact and efficient and easy to integrate analog data acquisition and transmission into today's state of the art automation solutions.
