Product Description

Description

Engineered for high-speed, dynamic measurement tasks, the BECKHOFF KS3361 acts as a high-performance Bus Terminal designed for direct connection to strain gauges in full-bridge configurations. This unit processes analog bridge signals and delivers digitized measurement values to the supervisory control system via the K-bus. By integrating a rapid analog input and a dedicated trigger input, it provides precise capturing of transient mechanical loads, making it an ideal choice for precise force, pressure, and torque logging in diverse automation structures.

The KS3361 features an integrated high-speed data logger with a 32 kbyte internal memory buffer, enabling local buffering of high-frequency signal waveforms. Its pluggable wiring design level allows for rapid terminal exchange without disconnecting the field wiring, facilitating straightforward installation and minimizing system downtime during maintenance. Compatible with all standard industrial fieldbuses through Beckhoff Bus Couplers, this terminal ensures seamless integration across varied industrial communication protocols.

Features

  • Equipped with 1 analog input for strain gauge bridge connections and 1 dedicated trigger input.
  • Features high-speed data logger technology with 32 kbytes of internal memory for signal storage.
  • Offers highly flexible conversion times, configurable down to 10 microseconds in fast sampling mode.
  • Provides 14-bit plus sign resolution for precise digitizing of low-level sensor signals.
  • Pluggable connection design facilitates quick maintenance and secure wiring configuration.
  • Direct power supply routing through the K-bus simplifies cabinet power distribution.

Applications

  • Dynamic force and torque measurement in automated test benches.
  • High-speed industrial weighing and dosing applications.
  • Structural health monitoring and mechanical load evaluation in heavy machinery.
  • Press-fit and joining process supervision in automotive and assembly lines.
