Product Description

The Beckhoff KM4602-0000 is a compact and efficient Analog Output Module that belongs to the KM Bus Terminals series. It is designed to provide two outputs with the voltage output of 0 to 10 V that allows it to be used in the automation of analog signals related control tasks. It can be connected to the K-bus for power supply and has a current consumption of 175 mA on average, but it does not need any power contact for current input. It offers protection against short circuits and works well with loads higher than 5kOhm, thus making it safe and efficient. It has an operating temperature of 0 to 55C along with its storage temperature of -25 to +85C.

One of the significant benefits of this module is the fact that it has a 12-bit resolution. This means that each analog output signal is available in 4,096 (or 2^12) levels of resolution. Higher resolution results in higher accuracy of the output, which is desirable when controlling heavy equipment or when measuring gradual variations in voltage. It also provides high precision, which is required for applications such as the automation of industries or manufacturing systems, and control of machines and processes.

Another important characteristic is its conversion time of about 1.5 milliseconds. Switching time is used to determine how long it will take for the module to change or switch its input signal. Lesser conversion time also implies that the KM4602-0000 is capable of responding to system commands at a faster rate. It maintains a short response time, which means that the output signals are in tune with the system requirements, most especially in dynamic settings, thus enhancing the performance and efficiency of the system.
