Product Description:

The model KL5051 is a Bidirectional SSI Interface Bus Terminal by Beckhoff designed for digital servo drive communication. It connects drives via two logical channels for control and data exchange. It operates on a 5 V DC supply and ensures reliable signal transmission through differential RS422 signals.

The KL5051 bus terminal offers one SSI encoder interface with a 24 bit variable serial input. It supports both binary input (D+, D-) and binary output (Cl+, Cl-). The device operates with a 5 V DC power supply that is typically sourced via power contacts from a KL9505 unit. The terminal consumes approximately 85 mA without an encoder and around 75 mA from the K bus. Encoder supply is also 5 V DC. Data transfer occurs at 1 MHz. The terminal ensures electrical isolation of 500 V between the K-bus and field potential. The bit width in the process image includes 2 × 16 bit data input/output and 2 × 8 bit control/status that enables efficient data handling and system control. Its design includes a compact terminal housing with integrated signal LEDs for operational visibility and easy monitoring during system runtime. The device uses difference signal input and output for both transmitting and receiving data.

The KL5051 bus terminal supports bidirectional communication which is essential for servo drive applications where position feedback and control commands are exchanged continuously. It is specifically configured for applications where one channel positions the drive and the other handles parameters and status information. The construction material is durable polycarbonate and the unit weighs approximately 80 grams. This terminal integrates seamlessly with automation systems requiring high speed synchronized data exchange. The design of the KL series bus terminal ensures efficient control and feedback loops between the control system and drive.
