KL3051 EtherCAT Terminal

The KL3051 is a single-channel analog output terminal from the Beckhoff Bus Terminal series (KL series) for the traditional K-Bus I/O system. It outputs a 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA current-loop signal with 16-bit resolution, providing finer output steps than the 12-bit KL3011 and KL3041. It is used to control actuators, valves, drives, and other devices that accept an analog current setpoint where higher output resolution is required. Unlike EtherCAT terminals (EL series), the KL series communicates via the K-Bus and is typically used with Beckhoff Bus Couplers or Bus Terminal Controllers.
