Product Description

The KL5101-1100 crafted by Beckhoff is among the KL Analog Input Series. The product is a high-performance module designed for the purpose of integrating increment encoder. This module features 1 incremental encoder input with an additional input channel. Therefore, it can be applied to the broadest range of motion control tasks. Differential inputs A, A (inv), B, B (inv), C, C (inv) can be employed with the encoder, and status input is possible at 5 V DC and gate/latch input is possible at 24 V DC. The module works on 5 V DC encoder voltage with the encoder output current being 0.5 A for stable and reliable performance .

The KL5101-1100 drives a 16-bit binary counter, so the position can be counted correctly. Under 4-fold evaluation with its quadrature decoder, it provides up to 4 million increments per second; therefore, it is very responsive for any demanding applications. With this, it can provide 16-bit resolution and is able to reference the position precisely. Available commands enable flexible control and allow it to be easily integrated into automation systems. Power supply over 24 V DC, assuring that the module is compatible with standard industrial power settings, although the module draws typical 60 mA from the K-bus.

This module is intended for harsh industrial conditions with an operating temperature range between -25 to +60°C and storage conditions at down to -40°C. It also adheres to the EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 vibration and shock resistance requirements for its durability. The KL5101-1100 also presents an IP20 protection rating and other EMC immunity and emission standards to be able to perfectly be applied in complicated and noisy environments. It shows outstanding accuracy with high-speed processing capabilities of the encoder control.
