It converts digital 16-bit values from the controller into an analog voltage with an output error of less than ±0.1%, ensuring high fidelity in setpoint transmission. The terminal features a conversion time of approximately 1.5 ms and is designed to drive loads greater than 5 kΩ with short-circuit protection. As a standard Bus Terminal, it draws its power directly from the K-bus (typ. 75 mA) and requires no external power contacts. Its \"differential\" design allows the signal to be measured against its own reference point rather than a shared ground, which is critical for maintaining accuracy over longer cable runs or in environments with fluctuating ground potentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKL4001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGermany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 (Differential)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSignal Voltage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0 to 10 V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResolution\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12 bit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput Error\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026lt; ±0.1 % (Relative to end value)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConversion Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e~ 1.5 ms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLoad\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026gt; 5 kΩ (Short-circuit proof)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectrical Isolation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e500 V (K-bus \/ Signal voltage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrent Consumption\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTyp. 75 mA (K-bus)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-25 to +60 deg C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtection Rating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIP20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e85 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.0 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApprovals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCE, UL, ATEX (II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the KL4001 require any software configuration for basic operation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKL4001\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis designed for immediate integration.
