The EL3255 EtherCAT Terminal enables potentiometers to be connected directly. A stabilized power supply in the terminal and the ratiometric measurement of the input voltage offer the preconditions for precise measurement. On account of its high sampling rate and together with potentiometer position encoders, the compact 5-channel EtherCAT terminal represents an economical position detector.
The Bus Terminal Controllers are Bus Couplers with integrated PLC functionality. The “Compact” BC5250 Bus Terminal Controller for DeviceNet extends the Beckhoff small controller series by a cost-optimized version in a compact housing. The DeviceNet Controller offers automatic baud rate detection up to 500 kbaud and two address selection switches for address assignment.
The Compact Bus Coupler BK5250 for DeviceNet extends the Beckhoff Bus Terminal system by a cost-optimized version in a compact housing. Up to 64 Bus Terminals are supported; with the terminal bus extension, up to 255 Bus Terminals can be connected.
The KL2502 output terminal modulates the pulse width of a binary 24 V DC signal and outputs it electrically isolated from the K-bus. The mark/space ratio is prescribed by a 16 bit value from the automation device.
The KL2521 output terminal alters the frequency of a binary signal and (electrically isolated from the K-bus) outputs it. The frequency is preset by a 16 bit value from the automation unit.
The digital KL2784 Bus Terminal provides four switches that can be used like a relay contact for AC/DC voltages. The electronic switch is realized through high-performance MOSFET transistors with low switch-on resistance.
The switch itself is not short-circuit proof, but due to its high pulse current capability it can cope with current until an external fuse triggers a switch-off.
