Product Description

This device KL5101-0000 by Beckhoff is a compact and efficient incremental encoder interface designed for precise motion control applications. Beckhoff has gained much well reputation in the field of electronics and mechanical engineering components by providing innovative solutions for industrial automation.

This KL5101-0000 incremental encoder interface supports RS422 differential inputs for high accuracy and reliability by offering 1 incremental encoder channel along with 1 input for additional functionality. It accepts connections for A, A (inv), B, B (inv), C, and C (inv) and helps in providing ease for various encoder setups. The KL input analog series encoder operates on 5 V DC and can output a current of up to 0.5 A. It has a high-performance 16-bit binary counter and it can handle a limit frequency of 4 million increments per second by utilizing 1-, 2-, or 4-fold evaluation for quadrature decoding. It also features a 16-bit zero-pulse latch for precise control and positioning tasks. It works with commands such as read, set, and enable to meet diverse application needs. It has a small weight and is also compliant with EN 60715.

This terminal is housed in a durable polycarbonate material with compact dimensions of 24 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm and designed to be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail type. It has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and conforms to vibration and shock resistance standards per EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27. The process image bit width includes 1 x 16-bit data and 1 x 8-bit control/status by enabling simple functioning into control systems. It mainly requires a 24 V DC supply for operation and with a typical K-bus current consumption of 60 mA is needed.
