Product Description:

The Beckhoff KS3458 functions as a high-precision digital input module in industrial automation applications.

The module enables 8 analog channels that handle 4–20 mA signal currents to connect effectively with industrial sensors as well as transmitters found in process control, together with energy monitoring and equipment diagnostic applications. The Beckhoff K-bus system drives this module's operations, which consumes 105 mA of current and eliminates the need for an additional power supply to operate its input channels. Each input circuit of the KS3458 offers internal resistance lower than 85 ohms, which helps maintain precise current detection by minimizing signal attenuation. The device includes a surge voltage resistance capability of 30 V DC that guards against electrical damage in rigorous conditions. The module provides accurate, high-resolution measurements at 12-bit resolution, which ensures precise control over analog signal inputs. The device makes measurement conversions in 4 milliseconds, thus supporting time-sensitive systems requiring continuous real-time data updates. The device maintains small measurement uncertainty since its typical error remains below ±0.3% relative to full-scale reading, which ensures dependable signal quality.

The module arranges input data through its process image into 8 channels as 16-bit values while providing optional 8-bit control and status data flexibility in automation applications. Powerful EMC resistance standards from EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 guarantee the KS3458 will function properly in industrial environments with electrical noise. The physically small device upholds IP20 specifications while functioning within temperature conditions between 0 to 55°C and accepting safe storage between -25 to +85°C. The product meets the specifications of EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 to deter damage from vibrations and shocks. It can be purchased at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
