Beckhoff PLC module KL2022

The Beckhoff KL2022 is a 2-channel digital output terminal designed to interface binary control signals from an automation unit to actuators at the process level, ensuring electrical isolation between control and field levels. 

Key Features:

• Output Channels: Two independent channels, each capable of handling up to 2.0 A of current.
• Load Compatibility: Supports ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads.
• Short-Circuit Protection: Each output is protected against short circuits, with a short-circuit current of less than 70 A and breaking energy under 1.7 J per channel.
• Signal Indicators: Each channel is equipped with an LED to display its signal state, facilitating easy monitoring.

Specifications:

• Nominal Voltage: 24 V DC (-15%/+20%).
• Current Consumption:
  • Power Contacts: Typically 20 mA plus the load.
  • K-bus: Approximately 5 mA.
• Electrical Isolation: 500 V between K-bus and field potential.
• Connection Technology: 4-wire system.

Applications:

The KL2022 is ideal for applications requiring reliable digital signal interfacing, such as:

• Industrial Automation: Controlling actuators like solenoids, relays, and motors.
• Building Automation: Managing lighting systems, HVAC controls, and security mechanisms.
• Process Control Systems: Interfacing with various field devices to ensure precise process management.
