Product Description:
The KS6001 Serial interface terminal from Beckhoff is designed for seamless device connectivity in industrial automation that requires RS232 communication. The serial interface terminal is designed to enable reliable and efficient data exchange between automation devices and external RS232 equipment.
The RS232 cable length can reach up to 15 meters, which accommodates flexible installation. The terminal ensures signal voltage levels from -18 V to -3 V for logic low and 3 V to 18 V for logic high. Power is supplied via the K-bus, and current consumption is 55 mA. Electrical isolation of 500 V between the K-bus and signal voltage protects the system. The interface terminal features a data buffer with 128 bytes for receiving and 16 bytes for transmitting data. Operating in full duplex mode with two data transfer channels, TxD and RxD, the KS6001 serial interface terminal is compatible with RS232 technology. With a default of 9600 baud, the terminal can transport data at rates between 1200 and 19200 baud while keeping bit distortion at 3% to ensure signal integrity. Configuration is managed via the bus coupler or controller without address setting. It tolerates up to 95% relative humidity without condensation and mounts on a 35 mm rail according to EN 60715.
The KS6001 interface terminal integrates into automation systems with features that support high interference immunity through electrical isolation. The user data can be stored in the interface terminal in a length of three by eight bits. The serial interface terminal’s configuration flexibility allows adaptation to various bus couplers and controllers, providing ease of integration. The terminal’s ability to buffer data and maintain stable operation across a wide temperature range further enhances its application reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions about KS6001:
Q: Why does KS6001 have 500 V electrical isolation?
A: The interface terminal provides 500 V electrical isolation that protects the K-bus and signal voltage circuits. This reduces interference and enhances operational safety.
Q: Does KS6001 support full duplex RS232 communication?
A: The interface terminal supports full duplex mode that enables simultaneous transmission and reception on TxD and RxD channels for efficient data exchange.
Q: How does KS6001 handle data buffering for RS232?
A: The terminal features a 128-byte receive buffer and a 16-byte transmit buffer that ensures smooth and reliable data transmission.
Q: Why is the KS6001 cable length limited to 15 meters?
A: The interface terminal limits the RS232 cable length to 15 meters, which maintains signal integrity and minimizes bit distortion during data transfer.
Q: Does KS6001 require manual address setting during configuration?
A: The interface terminal does not require manual address setting. Configuration is managed automatically via the bus coupler or controller for ease of use.
