Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF KS3044 is a 4-channel analog input Bus Terminal designed for processing 0 to 20 mA process signals in industrial automation architectures. Operating as part of the established BECKHOFF Bus Terminal system, this unit features pluggable wiring technology to facilitate efficient installation and maintenance without disrupting field cabling. It interfaces directly with compatible bus couplers via the internal K-bus, transmitting digitized process values to the higher-level control system.

Engineered for single-ended signal acquisition, the KS3044 delivers 12-bit resolution across its four independent channels. The terminal is housed in a compact polycarbonate enclosure designed for standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting, incorporating electrical isolation between the field-side signals and the K-bus logic. It is suited for process measurement tasks requiring standard current loop monitoring within machine control cabinets.

Features

Four analog input channels supporting 0 to 20 mA signal current ranges
Single-ended measurement technology with internal resistance and series diode drop
12-bit analog-to-digital resolution for precise process data representation
Pluggable wiring level for simplified installation and pre-wired connector replacement
K-bus interface for communication and power distribution within the Bus Terminal segment
DIN rail mounting design utilizing standard 35 mm mounting rails conforming to EN 60715

Applications

Acquisition of analog sensor signals in industrial machinery and factory automation systems
Process monitoring of 0 to 20 mA current loops in control cabinet installations
Distributed data acquisition across modular machine architectures using BECKHOFF Bus Terminals

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the entire control system and local power supplies are completely de-energized before beginning installation or wiring work.
Inspect the terminal housing and pluggable wiring connector for any signs of transport damage or contamination.
Mount the BECKHOFF KS3044 onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (conforming to EN 60715) by snapping it into place, utilizing the built-in locking mechanism.
Connect adjacent terminals securely using the double slot and key connection system to maintain proper K-bus alignment.
Strip field conductors to the specified length (9 to 10 mm) and insert them into the spring-actuated connection points using a suitable screwdriver.
Verify all signal wiring against system schematics, ensuring correct polarity for the 0 to 20 mA current loop inputs.
Power on the system and verify operational status via the bus coupler and control environment diagnostics.
