Description

The BECKHOFF KS9508 is a Bus Terminal designed to provide a stabilized 8 V DC output voltage within modular I/O system architectures. Operating on a 24 V DC input voltage, this power supply terminal supplies regulated power to specialized electronic loads and internal bus terminal circuits requiring a tightly controlled 8 V DC supply. It integrates into modular terminal assemblies, featuring pluggable wiring and standard DIN rail mounting.

Equipped with short-circuit protection and a stabilized output, the KS9508 ensures operational safety and voltage integrity for connected field devices. Diagnostic capabilities include an overcurrent LED indicator for status monitoring. The terminal housing is constructed from polycarbonate and supports side-by-side installation alongside other KSxxxx series bus terminals using a double slot and key connection method.

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure all power supplies and field voltage sources are switched off and verified de-energized before beginning installation or wiring work.
2. Inspect the KS9508 terminal housing and pluggable connectors for any visible transit damage or defects.
3. Mount the terminal onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (conforming to EN 60715) by snapping it securely into place with the locking mechanism.
4. Interlock the terminal side-by-side with adjacent KSxxxx series bus terminals using the double slot and key connection.
5. Strip conductors to the specified length of 9 to 10 mm.
6. Connect the 24 V DC input supply and output lines using a suitable screwdriver for spring actuation, ensuring secure clamping according to the approved cross-section ranges.
7. Verify terminal assignments, potential supply connections, and polarity before restoring power to the system.
