KL2521-xxxx - LED displays
LED | Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
Signal LED A, B | green | The four LEDs light up with active signal levels of the inputs and outputs. The illumination of the LEDs for the active frequency outputs A or B at higher frequencies can only be perceived as a glow at half brightness. When the watchdog is active (Feature.2 = 0!!!) the terminal will switch the outputs off or will output a value stored in register 35 if no new process data is transferred to the terminal within 100 ms. |
Connecting the inputs (KL2521-0000, KL2521-0024)
The optically isolated inputs are protected from overload by a current limiter. Without further external circuitry the operating voltage may lies between 5 V and 24 VDC. The GND connection is the common ground for the two inputs, T and Z. The circuit diagram shows the internal circuitry of the two inputs:

Circuit examples for output to A. The same principles apply to output B.
KL2521-0000
The outputs A and B of the EL2521 can be used in different connection modes. An integrated DC/DC converter supplies the output stage of the two channels, A and B, with an electrically isolated 5 V power supply.
- Connection to RS485/RS232 receiver
The output can be operated as RS485 or as RS232 output. The circuit generates the necessary differential signals.
Fig.13: KL2521-0000 on the RS485/RS232 receiver- Connection to optocoupler (without external supply voltage)
The outputs can be used for direct connection of an optocoupler. The output stage supplies the necessary output current using an internal 5 V supply voltage.

For connection to inputs with a large input resistance, an external supply voltage (up to 24 V) can be used with the EL2521-0024 in order to create the necessary current.
![]() | Operation with an external supply voltage is dependent on the hardware version The operation with an external supply voltage depends on the hardware version of the terminal:
|
- KL2521-0000 up to hardware version 03
- Instead of hardware version 04 (or higher), use the special variant KL2521-0024
Fig.15: KL2521-0000 up to hardware version 03 - wiring with external power source
Fig.16: KL2521-0024 - wiring with external power sourceSee chapter Documentation issue status for the determination of the hardware version
KL2521-0024: Connection to external electronics
Note when connecting external electronics that terminal point A of the first channel and terminal point B of the second channel of a KL2521-0024 are connected to each other internally.
Fig.17: KL2521-0024 - connection to external electronicsThis allows the dual-channel connection of external electronics if the KL2521-0024 switches the ground of the connected device as shown in example 1.
