BECKHOFF KL6583 EnOcean Transceiver Module

Description

The BECKHOFF KL6583 is an external EnOcean transceiver module designed for bidirectional wireless communication with EnOcean-enabled sensors and actuators. Operating on the 868.35 MHz frequency band, this transceiver acts as the physical RF interface for the BECKHOFF KL6581 EnOcean Bus Terminal master. By positioning the KL6583 externally, system integrators can optimize radio coverage within building automation architectures while keeping the main I/O terminal block inside the control cabinet.

Engineered for wall or ceiling mounting, the housing of the BECKHOFF KL6583 features an integrated antenna and a dedicated cable feed-through. It connects directly to the KL6581 master using a 2 x 2-wire connection, allowing a distance of up to 500 meters between the transceiver and the I/O terminal. Power is supplied directly from the KL6581 master terminal, eliminating the need for an external local power source at the mounting site.

Features

• Bidirectional EnOcean radio communication on the 868.35 MHz frequency band.
• Direct connection to the KL6581 EnOcean master terminal via a 2 x 2-wire cable.
• Extended installation range with support for up to 500 meters of connecting cable.
• Integrated RF antenna housed inside the unit.
• No separate software configuration required on the transceiver itself.
• Compact, grey-white (RAL 9002) housing optimized for simple wall or ceiling flange mounting.

Applications

• Building automation and building services management.
• Wireless integration of self-powered EnOcean switches, temperature sensors, and occupancy detectors.
• Industrial facilities requiring wireless sensor integration without heavy cabling.
• Retrofitting existing spaces where hardwired sensor runs are impractical.

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure the entire automation system and the associated KL6581 Bus Terminal are de-energized before mounting or wiring the transceiver.
2. Select an optimal physical location on the wall or ceiling to maximize line-of-sight RF communication with EnOcean sensors, keeping away from large metal objects.
3. Mount the flange base securely to the flat surface using appropriate hardware.
4. Route the 2 x 2-wire shielded connection cable through the integrated feed-through of the housing.
5. Connect the wiring directly to the corresponding terminals on the KL6581 Bus Terminal, ensuring correct polarity and shielding. Do not exceed the maximum cable limit of 500 meters.
6. Assemble the housing upper part onto the flange base.
7. Restore system power and verify the diagnostic status via the master KL6581 terminal.
