KL2541 - Beckhoff Bus Terminal Digital Output

The Beckhoff KL2541 Bus Terminal Digital Output is engineered as a compact drive technology module for precise motion control in industrial environments. It supports direct motor connection and is capable of driving one stepper motor with encoder feedback, offering high accuracy for positioning tasks. The module integrates travel distance control and encoder input, enabling effective closed-loop monitoring. With a resolution of around 5000 positions per revolution in typical applications, the KL2541 provides smooth and reliable operation. Its process image features 2 x 16-bit data and 1 x 8-bit control/status, ensuring accurate signal processing for motor control and position feedback. The terminal consumes 100 mA via the K-bus and an additional 35 mA through power contacts, balancing performance with efficiency.

Compact and durable, the KL2541 is housed in a polycarbonate enclosure measuring 24 x 100 x 68 mm and weighs about 100 g. It mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail with Beckhoff’s secure locking mechanism and supports modular side-by-side installation using the double slot and key connection. The module is equipped with signal LEDs for clear operational status and accepts multiple wiring types (solid, flexible, and ferrule conductors). With an IP20 protection rating and certifications from CE and UL, the KL2541 ensures safe use in global industrial environments. Designed to handle vibration, shock, and EMC requirements, it guarantees long-term stability and performance in demanding automation setups.

In real-world applications, the KL2541 Bus Terminal Digital Output is widely used for controlling stepper motors in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and CNC-based equipment. Its encoder feedback capability makes it valuable in robotics and precision assembly tasks where accuracy and repeatability are critical. OEMs and panel builders appreciate its compact footprint and ease of integration into modular I/O systems, while maintenance engineers benefit from its diagnostic LEDs and simple wiring setup that minimize downtime. Educational institutes and training centers also rely on the KL2541 to help students understand motion control concepts in PLC systems. With its robust design, advanced features, and strong certification backing, the Beckhoff KL2541 stands as a trusted solution for industries seeking reliable Bus Terminal Digital Output modules.
