Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF KL6581 is a K-bus Bus Terminal that serves as an EnOcean master interface. It is designed to enable wireless communication with EnOcean-compatible sensors and actuators in building automation and industrial control environments. The terminal itself does not contain high-frequency transmitter or receiver hardware; instead, it acts as a central controller and interface module that connects to external transceivers.

To achieve wide radio coverage across a building, the BECKHOFF KL6581 supports the connection of up to eight external BECKHOFF KL6583 EnOcean transmitter and receiver modules. This distributed architecture allows physical transceivers to be positioned at optimal locations away from the control cabinet, overcoming distance limitations and avoiding building structure interference.

Features

  • EnOcean master interface terminal for K-bus systems
  • Supports connection of up to eight KL6583 EnOcean transceiver modules
  • Internal data transfer rate of 125 kbaud between the master terminal and transceivers
  • Enables extended physical network layout with up to 500 meters of total connection cable length
  • Power supply provided directly via the K-bus connection
  • Compact housing design suitable for standard DIN rail mounting

Applications

  • Building automation systems requiring wireless EnOcean sensor integration
  • Industrial remote monitoring where physical wiring is impractical
  • Retrofitting existing machinery or facilities with wireless controls
