KL1862 Beckhoff Bus Terminal 16-Channel Digital Input | Oiltech

KL1862 Beckhoff Bus Terminal: 16-Channel Digital Input for Compact Control Cabinets

The Beckhoff KL1862 packs 16 digital inputs into a 12 mm wide housing. It uses a 20-pin flat-ribbon connector with insulation displacement contacts. This cuts wiring time for multi-channel panels. A 3 ms input filter stops bouncing from mechanical switches. The KL1862 suits machine builders who need dense I/O on a 35 mm DIN rail. LEDs show each channel state. Power contacts pass through. No address or config setting is needed.

FAQ

Q: Can I use the KL1862 with a standard 20-pin ribbon cable?

A: Yes. It accepts common flat-ribbon cable, AWG 28, 1.27 mm pitch. Insulation displacement contacts make the connection.

Q: What is the difference between KL1862 and KL1862-0010?

A: The KL1862-0010 switches to ground. The standard KL1862 uses positive logic. Choose based on your sensor wiring.

Q: Does the 3 ms filter slow down my machine cycle?

A: For most mechanical switches, no. The filter removes bounce. For high-speed signals, use a faster input card.

Q: Is the KL1862 ATEX certified for hazardous areas?

A: Yes. It carries ATEX II 3 G Ex ec IIC T4 Gc and IECEx Ex ec IIC T4 Gc markings for zone 2 use.

Q: How do I select the right terminal for my old Beckhoff node?

A: Match the bus system, channel count, and voltage. Send us your node photo or part list. We verify compatibility before shipping.
