WARNING

Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!

Bring the Bus Terminals system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals!

Description

Signal LED A, B
Input T, Z

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 optocoupler (with external 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:

  • You can use the standard variant KL2521-0000 for this up to hardware version 03.
  • From hardware version 04 this is only possible with the special variant KL2521-0024, which was specially optimized for this application!
    However, since the KL2521-0024 has no internal supply voltage (5 V) it is not suitable for connection to RS485/RS232 receivers or optocouplers without an external supply voltage.

See 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.

This allows the dual-channel connection of external electronics if the KL2521-0024 switches the ground of the connected device as shown in example 1.

Notes on connection to external electronics

  • The Beckhoff KL5111, KL5121, KL5151 and KL5152 incremental encoder interface terminals require the switching of the positive voltage.
  • Because the terminal points A and B of the KL2521-0024 are bridged internally, the KL2521-0024 cannot switch the two inputs of the KL5151-0000 shown in example 2 independently of each other. This circuit crossed out in red is therefore of no use!
  • As shown in example 3, however, you can use one channel of the KL2521-0024 to switch one channel of the KL5151-0000.
