Modular I/O decreases maintenance and wiring cost
Beckhoff Automation has announced the Beckhoff Bus Terminal, a modular I/O system compatible with all current and future fieldbus technologies, including Ethernet
In conjunction with the KL2531 and KL2541 stepper motor Bus Terminals and the TwinCAT automation software, cost-effective axes can easily be integrated into the overall application.
The KL2531 Bus Terminal covers the lower capacity range up to a peak current of 1.5 A per phase with a supply voltage up to 24 V DC.
The KL2541 offers higher performance comparable to that of small Servo Drives.
With a peak current of 5 A, the KL2541 can generate an impressive torque of 5 Nm when used in conjunction with a standard stepper motor.
In order to simplify the electrical connection, the stepper motors are equipped with pre-assembled plug connectors.
Planetary gear units, incremental encoders and pre-assembled connection cables are available as accessories.
