Use of surge filter terminals
2 Notes about operation in the Marine Sector
2.1 Use of surge filter terminals
CAUTION
Surge filter terminals (over voltage filter)
To comply with the dielectric strength required by DNV GL for operation
use of surge filter terminals in the Beckhoff Bus Terminal system is necessary!
2.1.1 Selecting the surge filter terminal
KL9550-0000: for system supply and field supply of digital Bus Terminals
Use the KL9550-0000 surge filter terminal if
only the system supply (Us, K-Bus) is fed in or
the system supply (Us, K-bus) and the field supply (Up, power contacts 24 V) for digital Bus Terminals
is fed in.
in the Marine Sector, the
Example:
Supply via a Bus Coupler or a KL9400 for subsequent digital terminals with supply via power conta cts.
KL9540-0000: for field supply of digital Bus Terminals
Use the KL9540-0000 surge filter terminal if only the field supply (Up, power contacts, 24 V). is fed in for digital
Bus Terminals.
KL9540-0010: for system supply and supply of analog and digital Bus Termi nals
Use the KL9540-0010 surge filter terminal if analog Bus Terminals are supplied via the system voltage (Us, KBus) or the field supply (Up, power contacts 24 V).
Examples:
for analog terminals that are supplied via the system voltage (Us, K-Bus) (e.g. KL34xx)
for analog terminals that are supplied via the field supply (Up, power contacts 24 V) (e.g. KL44xx)
Digital Bus Terminals can of course also be supplied via the KL9540-0010.
2.2 Accuracy
An adapted accuracy range applies to the analog output terminals KL44xx:
< ±0.4 % (referred to the measuring range end value).
