KS Series bus-terminals allow wiring to be removed as a plug connector from the I/O housing face without tools. Connector is removed from the bus terminal assembly by pressing an unlocking tab. New I/O component is then inserted and the connector re-plugged in with the wiring. Procedure is designed to minimize installation time and the risk of wiring errors.
New connector adds about 3 mm to the housing width; bus terminal dimensions are only slightly changed from previous versions. Maximum bus terminal height is unchanged. KS and KL Series bus terminals can be mixed and matched on the same I/O node without restriction. www.beckhoffautomation.com Beckhoff Automation
