Product Description

The Kl2541-1000 by Beckhoff is a stepper motor terminal developed under the Kl Analog Input Series. One feature is that this product has one output controlling as well as an encoder input providing positioning feedback directly. A total of 2 end-position inputs and 1 encoder input comprise its setup. With this characteristic, it is best suited for applications that significantly require motion control. This module connects directly to the motors, so any kind of existing system integration would be very simple and even quite easy.

This stepper motor terminal is operated under a supply voltage of 24 VDC, while the motor's supported power range is between 8 to 48 V DC. The maximum output current of 5.0 A ensures sturdy control of the stepper motor even under heavy loads. The encoder supply voltage for this stepper motor terminal would have been 24 VDC so that adequate power is assured for crisp signals in feedback. It can support a step frequency of up to 125,000 steps per second and a step pattern that allows for flexible control, from full step to 64-fold micro stepping, which covers most requirements for different motion precisions.

The KL2541-1000 is provided with a current controller frequency of approx. 25 kHz with the corresponding increased accuracy degree of control. Resolution is usually up to approx. 5000 positions per revolution. Diagnostic LEDs provide significant status information; the list includes error phase A and B, loss of step or stagnation, power and enable. The encoder input signal can be also found between 5 and 24 V DC at a typ. current of 5 mA to ensure secure signal processing. The KL2541-1000 is stepper motor control in automation systems designed for industrial environments.
