Beckhoff KL3182 2-Channel Analog Input Terminal

Overview

KL3182 Original New in Stock

Parameters

Note: Specifications are indicative. The KL3182 is a K-Bus analog input terminal with 16-bit resolution. Exact accuracy, input impedance, and update rates must be verified against the current Beckhoff datasheet for your revision. The KL series differs from the EtherCAT EL series in the bus system used.

Core Advantages

1. 16-Bit Resolution for Fine 0–10 V Measurement
Provides higher measurement resolution than 12-bit voltage input terminals, enabling detection of smaller signal changes in 0–10 V sensor and transmitter signals.

2. Two Inputs in a 12 mm Housing
Two independent analog voltage inputs in a compact Bus Terminal housing, suitable for dual-sensor acquisition in K-Bus systems.

3. Standard 0–10 V Interface
Measures the widely used 0–10 V signal, compatible with a broad range of sensors, transmitters, and analog signal sources.

4. Per-Channel Configuration
Measurement scaling and filter settings are configurable per channel through the Bus Coupler/Controller. Confirm the exact configuration options in the datasheet.

5. K-Bus System Integration
Integrates into the Beckhoff Bus Terminal system via the K-Bus, working with Bus Couplers and Bus Terminal Controllers for fieldbus connectivity.

6. Channel-Wise Status LEDs
Status LEDs per channel support fast commissioning and fault identification.

7. Compact and Robust Industrial Design
IP20-rated, DIN-rail mounted, with electrical isolation between the input channels and the K-Bus.

Applications

• Precision 0–10 V sensor acquisition — pressure, flow, level, and position transmitters requiring fine resolution.

• Machine building — fine analog signal acquisition in motion, clamping, and process control.

• Process technology — high-resolution measurement of standard analog process signals.

• Legacy K-Bus systems — expansion and maintenance of existing Bus Terminal installations.

• OEM equipment — embedded high-resolution analog input in industrial machines.

• Test benches — fine analog signal acquisition in validation and R&D rigs.

• Building automation — 0–10 V sensor signal acquisition with high resolution for HVAC and energy systems.

FAQ

Q1: What is the KL3182 used for?
It is a 2-channel analog input terminal with 16-bit resolution for the Beckhoff K-Bus Bus Terminal system, used to measure 0–10 V voltage signals with fine resolution.

Q2: What is the difference between KL3062 and KL3182?
Both are 2-channel 0–10 V analog input terminals for the K-Bus system; the KL3182 provides 16-bit resolution versus the 12-bit resolution of the KL3062. Confirm the exact specifications in the current datasheet.

Q3: What is the difference between KL3142 and KL3182?
The KL3142 measures bipolar ±10 V; the KL3182 measures unipolar 0–10 V. Choose based on signal polarity.

Q4: What resolution does it provide?
Typically 16-bit resolution, giving finer measurement steps than 12-bit terminals. Verify the exact resolution in the current datasheet.

Q5: What is the input impedance?
The input impedance must be confirmed in the current datasheet. Verify that it is compatible with your signal source.

Q6: How is the terminal configured?
Configuration is performed through the Bus Coupler or Bus Terminal Controller (e.g., via KS2000 or TwinCAT). Confirm the exact workflow in the datasheet.

Q7: Does it require an external 24 V supply?
The terminal logic is powered from the K-Bus; the analog input stage may require a field supply depending on the variant. Confirm the exact supply requirements in the datasheet.

Q8: Is the KL3182 suitable for safety functions?
No. It is a standard automation terminal and is not a certified safety component. Use appropriately certified hardware for safety-related signal acquisition.
