Product Description

This Beckhoff KL3312-1001 is a commonly used analog input terminal bus which is created for direct connection of thermocouples by offering greater flexibility and preciseness. Beckhoff company designs and manufacture hardware and software solutions for industrial automation for multiple purposes.

This KL3312-1001 terminal bus module supports a large range of thermo-coupler categories that are B,E,J, K, L, N, R, S, T, and U with category K being the default setting. The device operates using 2-wire technology by allowing for simple yet accurate measurements across broad temperature ranges. For K-type thermocouples, it includes a wide range of temperatures between -100°C to +1370°C and also provide millivolt measurements in the ±30 mV to ±120 mV range. The series KL input analog bus terminal ensures high accuracy having resolution of 0.1°C/digit. It features time conversion up to 250 ms by making it high-grade for real-time applications in just milli seconds. Its terminal includes wiring failure indication for increased reliability in monitoring systems. Electrical isolation is found to be 500 V between the signal and K-bus for ensuring safe operation in various environments.

This KL3312-1001 terminal bus consumes about 65 milli Amperes from the K-bus but requires no other power contacts. It features a compact design with dimensions of 12 mm height, 100 width and 68 length which helps in making it ideal for space-limited installations on standard mounting as 35 mm DIN rails. The housing is made of highly durable polycarbonate material and contains IP20 protection which is suitable for industrial environments. It is certified for use in hazardous areas with ATEX and IECEx approvals. It mainly offers dependable thermocouple input for precise temperature measurement and flexible configuration through a bus coupler or controller.
