KS Digital Input Module Series

The Beckhoff KS Digital Input Module Series forms a comprehensive portfolio of bus terminals dedicated to binary signal acquisition. Primarily used for interfacing with mechanical contacts and electronic sensors, the terminals convert contact and sensor input signals into standardized low/high logic levels for transmission over the bus network to higher-level automation equipment. Offering an extensive array of variants with differing specifications, the KS Series allows users to select optimally suited terminals according to application needs such as the required number of channels, connection types, and input filter speeds. Beyond basic input functionality, the series also provides value-added features including safety-rated terminals for integrating safety signals and combined input/output terminals for streamlining system design. Notably, the terminals seamlessly integrate into Beckhoff's holistic automation ecosystem, allowing for plug-and-play compatibility with other products like EtherCAT Terminals and TwinSAFE safety controllers. This coherence ensures an efficient overall solution, simplifying implementation and maintenance of complex industrial control systems.
