The Beckhoff KL3061 is a 1-channel analog input Bus Terminal designed for precise voltage measurement in industrial and building automation systems. Supporting single-ended 0…10 V signals, it offers a compact and reliable solution for integrating individual analog measurement points into Beckhoff’s modular I/O platform.

The KL3061 is particularly suited for applications where one or only a few analog inputs are required, providing cost-effective signal acquisition without the need for multi-channel modules. Its 0…10 V input range is widely adopted in automation environments, ensuring compatibility with many sensors, transmitters, and other field devices that generate voltage-based outputs. This makes the terminal highly versatile for tasks such as monitoring process values, setpoints, or environmental data.

With a 12-bit resolution, the KL3061 delivers fine-grained measurement capability, enabling accurate and smooth signal acquisition. Its measurement error of less than ±0.3% relative to full scale further ensures that process control and monitoring tasks are based on dependable and precise data. This reliability is crucial in applications where measurement accuracy directly affects system performance or product quality.

The terminal is engineered with a high internal resistance, typically greater than 200 kΩ. This feature minimises loading on the connected signal source, ensuring that the original measurement is not distorted or affected by the input circuitry. This is especially valuable when working with delicate or low-power devices, where signal integrity must be preserved.

To enhance safety and system stability, the KL3061 provides 500 V electrical isolation between the K-bus and the signal voltage. This isolation protects the terminal and the control system from electrical interference or faults, ensuring consistent operation even in electrically noisy environments.

The KL3061 does not consume current from power contacts, as it is powered solely via the K-bus. This simplifies integration and wiring while maintaining seamless communication with the higher-level controller, such as a Bus Coupler or Embedded PC. As part of Beckhoff’s modular system, it can be easily combined with digital, analog, or specialty terminals, allowing scalable configurations tailored to specific automation projects.

Compact in design, the KL3061 is ideal for control cabinet installations where space is limited. By providing a single analog input in a small footprint, it enables efficient use of DIN rail space while delivering reliable signal acquisition.

In summary, the Beckhoff KL3061 is a precise, compact, and versatile 1-channel analog input terminal for 0…10 V voltage signals. With its 12-bit resolution, low measurement error, high internal resistance, and robust electrical isolation, it ensures accurate and dependable data acquisition. Ideal for applications requiring single-point measurements, the KL3061 integrates seamlessly into Beckhoff’s modular I/O platform, supporting flexible and scalable automation solutions.
