Product Description

The Beckhoff KL3403 is an analog input terminal that is part of the KL Analog Input Series. Because it measures voltage and current accurately, this gadget is essential to industrial automation. Fundamentally, the KL3403 makes use of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 16-bit resolution. This indicates that 2^16 (65,536) discrete steps are used to transform the analog input signal, which represents current or voltage, into a digital value. Accurate industrial process monitoring and control are made possible by the fine-grained representation of the measured amount made possible by this high resolution. The KL3403 has the capacity to measure "true RMS". Since many industrial loads, such as transformers and motors, draw non-sinusoidal currents, this is crucial. Compared to simpler averaging techniques, the real RMS measurement more precisely depicts the actual power spent and highlights the practical importance of these intricate waveforms.

A broad variety of input signals may be handled by the KL3403. Using measuring transformers, it can measure currents up to 1A and voltages up to 500V AC. The KL3403's low measurement error of 0.5% compared to the full-scale value for voltage and current and 1% for computed values like power demonstrate its precision. This guarantees that the information gathered is trustworthy and suitable for making important decisions in industrial contexts. In addition to its primary purpose, the KL3403 has a number of features that increase its usefulness. To maximize energy efficiency, it has an integrated energy meter that allows you to measure energy use over time. Other important electrical characteristics, such as frequency, cos φ (power factor), and sufficient power, are also computed and provided by the device. The electrical system under observation is fully depicted by this extensive data.

The KL3403 is designed to function reliably in industrial settings. It is protected against solid objects bigger than 12mm, such as fingers, according to its IP20 protection rating, but not against liquids. Because of this, it may be installed within control cabinets or enclosures. The apparatus functions dependably in a broad temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, guaranteeing steady performance even under trying circumstances. Its appropriateness for industrial applications is further shown by the fact that it complies with EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 requirements for vibration and shock resistance. The KL3403 module is small and light weighing around 75 grams. This makes integration with current systems and installation simple. It uses an average current of 115mA to connect with the control system using the K-bus. Wake Industrial gives customers peace of mind and guarantees the KL3403's quality and dependability with a one-year warranty.
