Product Description:
Beckhoff is a top manufacturer that produces the KS Digital Input Modules series and KS3042 is a top-selling part number from automation platforms. This module can basically allow two digital inputs for the simultaneous gathering of data from two sensor channels. 24 V DC is the standard power supply due to which the power contacts combine with a standard fieldbus coupler, thus limiting cables. Signal current is from 0 to 20mA, providing dynamic range for a large variety of inherent analog sensors. Due to its 80Ω internal resistance and 0.7V diode voltage rise, the module minimizes current surges and prevents reverse polarity damage.
With an approximate conversion time of 2ms, it enables speedy signal processing for real-time control loops during high-frequency sampling tasks. The module with resolution at 12-bit aids in providing fine-grained measurement steps. In comparison to the full-scale value, the measurement uncertainty is less than ± 0.3 %, which results in precise results for critical sensing applications. The surge voltage resistance peaks at 35 V to protect the module against transient over voltages in noisy environments. The current consumption of the device on the K-bus remains at approximately 65 mA, which enhances system efficiency and reduces power draw on the bus coupler. Motor’s operating temperature ranges from -25°C to 60°C, enables reliable performance in extreme cold and hot field environments.
The KS3042 possesses protection certification of IP20 that guards against solid-object ingress while maintaining ease of access in control cabinets. International approvals include CE, CCC, UL, ATEX, IECEx, and DNV GL, as the results of which confirm compliance with international safety and hazardous-area benchmarks. Essentially, this servo drive has a compact size of 12 mm × 100 mm × 68 mm which enables it to support high-density installations and reduces the amount of panel space required. Polycarbonate material is used for durable housing with chemical resistance to industrial solvents. Installation mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail conforming to EN 60715 which simplifies integration into standard control racks.
