BECKHOFF KM1012-0002 Bus Terminal Module

Description

The KM1012-0002 is a compact 16-channel digital input module designed for the Beckhoff I/O system. This Bus Terminal module efficiently consolidates 16 digital 24 V DC input signals into a high-density package, featuring two connectors with eight channels each. It utilizes pluggable connection technology and includes integrated LEDs for visual status indication of individual input channels. The module ensures reliable data transmission through electrical isolation between the K-bus and the field potential. Engineered for space-saving installations, it mounts directly onto standard 35 mm DIN rails and is fully integrated into the broader Beckhoff I/O ecosystem.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Secure the module to a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Use the double slot and key connection for side-by-side mounting to ensure mechanical stability.
• Wiring: Utilize the appropriate pluggable connector. Ensure the wire cross-section is between 0.08 and 1.5 mm². Strip the insulation to exactly 8 mm to ensure a proper connection in the terminal block.
• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature remains between 0 and +55 Celsius. While the unit is IP20 rated, ensure it is installed within an enclosure that prevents exposure to condensation and conductive dust.
• Commissioning: The module requires no address or configuration settings; it is automatically detected by the K-bus controller.
