2.1 The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system
The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system is used for decentralized connection of sensors and actuators to a
control system. The Beckhoff Bus Terminal system components are mainly used in industrial automation
and building management applications. In its minimum configuration, a bus station consists of a Bus
Coupler or a Bus Terminal Controller and Bus Terminals connected to it. The Bus Coupler forms the
communication interface to the higher-level controller, and the terminals are the interface to sensors and
actuators. The whole bus station is clipped onto a 35 mm DIN mounting rail (EN 50022). The mechanical
cross connection of the bus station is established via a slot and key system at the Bus Coupler and the
Bus Terminals.
The sensors and actuators are connected with terminals via the screwless Cage Clamp
system.
Since a wide range of different communication standards are established in industrial automation,
Beckhoff offers Bus Couplers for all common bus systems (e.g. BK3120 for PROFIBUS, BK9000 for
Ethernet etc.).

2.1.3 K-bus
The K-Bus is the data path within a terminal strip. The K-Bus is led through from the Bus Coupler through
all the terminals via six contacts on the terminals' side walls. The end terminal terminates the K-Bus.
2.1.4 Power contacts
The operating voltage is passed on to following terminals via two power contacts. Terminal strip can be
split into galvanically isolated groups by means of potential feed terminals as required. The power feed
terminals play no part in the control of the terminals, and can be inserted at any locations within the
terminal strip.

2.2 TwinSAFE
2.2.1 The I/O construction kit is extended safely
With the TwinSAFE Terminals, Beckhoff offers the option of simply expanding the proven Bus Terminal
system, and to transfer the complete cabling for safety circuits into the already existing fieldbus cable.
Safe signals can be mixed with standard signals without restriction. This saves design effort, installation
and material. Maintenance is simplified significantly through faster diagnosis and simple replacement of
only a few components.
The new KLx9xx series Bus Terminals only include three basic functionalities: digital KL19xx inputs,
digital KL29xx outputs and a KL6904 link unit. For a large number of applications, all sensors and
actuators can be wired on these Bus Terminals. The required logical link of the inputs and the outputs is
handled by the KL6904. For small to medium-sized configurations, the tasks of a fail-safe PLC can thus
be handled within the Bus Terminal system.

2.2.3 KL1904, KL2904 – Bus Terminals with 4 fail-safe inputs or outputs
The KL1904 and KL2904 Bus Terminals enable connection of common safety sensors and actuators.
They are operated with the KL6904 TwinSAFE logic terminal. The TwinSAFE logic terminal is the link unit
between the TwinSAFE input and output terminals. It enables the configuration of a simple, flexible and
cost-effective decentralized safety control system.
Therefore, there are no safety requirements for the higher-level controller! The typical safety functions
required for the automation of machines, such as emergency stop, protective door, two-hand etc., are
already permanently programmed in the KL6904. The user configures the KL6904 terminal according to
the safety requirements of his application.

2.2.5 The fail-safe principle (Fail Stop)
The basic rule for a safety system such as TwinSAFE is that failure of a part, a system component or the
overall system must never lead to a dangerous condition. The safe state is always the switched off and
wattless state.

Operation
4.1.3 Mechanical installation
Serious risk of injury!
DANGER
4.1.3.1 Control cabinet
The TwinSAFE terminals must be installed in a control cabinet or terminal box with IP54 protection class
according to IEC 60529 as a minimum.
4.1.3.2 Mounting rail installation
Installation
The Bus Couplers and Bus Terminals are attached to commercially available 35 mm mounting rails
(according to EN 50022) by applying slight pressure:
Bring the bus system into a safe, de-energized state before starting installation,
disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals!
1. First attach the Fieldbus Coupler to the mounting rail.
2. The Bus Terminals are now attached on the right-hand side of the fieldbus Coupler. Join the
components with slot and key and push the terminals against the mounting rail, until the lock
clicks onto the mounting rail.
If the terminals are clipped onto the mounting rail first and then pushed together without slot
and key, the connection will not be operational! When correctly assembled, no significant gap
should be visible between the housings.
3. During the installation of the Bus Terminals, the locking mechanism of the terminals must not
come into conflict with the fixing bolts of the mounting rail.

KL1904
Operation
Removal
1. Carefully pull the orange-colored lug approximately 1 cm out of the terminal to be disassembled,
until it protrudes loosely. The lock with the mounting rail is now released for this terminal, and the
terminal can be pulled from the mounting rail without excessive force.
2. Grasp the released terminal with thumb and index finger simultaneous at the upper and lower
grooved housing surfaces and pull the terminal away from the mounting rail.
4.1.4 Electrical installation
4.1.4.1 Connections within a Bus Terminal block
The electric connections between the Bus Coupler and the Bus Terminals are automatically realized by
joining the components:
The six spring contacts of the K-Bus deal with the transfer of the data and the supply of the Bus
Terminal electronics.
Note the maximum K-Bus current!
Note
The power contacts deal with the supply for the field electronics and thus represent a supply rail
within the Bus Terminal block. The power contacts are supplied via terminals on the Bus Coupler.
Note
Observe the maximum current that your Bus Coupler can supply to the K-Bus!
Use the KL9400 Power Supply Terminal if the current consumption of your
terminals exceeds the maximum current that your Bus Coupler can feed to the
K-Bus supply.
Note the pin assignment of the power contacts!
During the design of a Bus Terminal block, the pin assignment of the individual
Bus Terminals must be taken account of, since some types (e.g. analog Bus
Terminals or digital 4-channel Bus Terminals) do not or not fully loop through the
power contacts.
Power Feed Terminals (KL91xx, KL92xx) interrupt the power contacts and thus
represent the start of a new supply rail.
KL1904 19
Operation
PE power contact
The power contact labelled PE can be used as a protective earth. For safety reasons this contact mates
first when plugging together, and can ground short-circuit currents of up to 125 A.
Insulation tests
CAUTION
DANGER
Note that, for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, the PE contacts are
capacitatively coupled to the mounting rail. This may lead to incorrect results during
insulation testing or to damage on the terminal (e.g. disruptive discharge to the PE line
during insulation testing of a consumer with a rated voltage of 230 V).
For insulation testing, disconnect the PE supply line at the Bus Coupler or the Power
Feed Terminal! In order to decouple further feed points for testing, these Power Feed
Terminals can be released and pulled at least 10 mm from the group of terminals.
Serious risk of injury!
The PE power contact must not be used for other potentials!
20 KL1904
Operation
4.1.4.2 Wiring
Up to eight connections enable the connection of solid or finely stranded cables to the Bus Terminals.
The terminals are implemented in spring force technology. Connect the cables as follows:
1. Open a spring-loaded terminal by slightly pushing with a screwdriver or a rod into the
square opening above the terminal.
2. The wire can now be inserted into the round terminal opening without any force.
3. The terminal closes automatically when the pressure is released, holding the wire safely
and permanently.

4.3 Diagnostics
4.3.1 Diagnostic LEDs
4.3.1.1 Diag 1 (green)
The Diag 1 LED indicates the state of the TwinSAFE interface.
Flashing Code Meaning
LED illuminated continuously
(from firmware version 17) or
cyclic flashing at 1 Hz
(up to firmware version 16)
rapid flickering, alternating with 1 flash pulse Error in S parameter (TwinSAFE parameter)
rapid flickering, alternating with 2 flash pulses Error in I parameter (Individual parameter)
rapid flickering, alternating with 3 flash pulses Waiting for S and I parameter
rapid flickering, alternating with 4 flash pulses S- and I-parameter correct:
rapid flickering, alternating with 5 flash pulses Watchdog error
rapid flickering, alternating with 6 flash pulses CRC error
rapid flickering, alternating with 7 flash pulses Sequence number error
rapid flickering, alternating with 8 flash pulses Intermediate state in a sensor
4.3.1.2 Diag 2 (red)
The Diag 2 LED illuminates red if the terminal detects an external supply or cross-circuit. The LED
extinguishes once the error is rectified.
normal operation:
TwinSAFE communication OK
waiting for first host message
KL1904 29
Operation
4.3.1.3 Diag 3 (red) and Diag 4 (red)
The Diag 3 and Diag 4 LEDs indicate internal terminal errors.
Returning the terminal
Note
These errors lead to shutdown of the terminal. The terminal must be checked by
Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG.
Diag 3 LED (red) Diag 4 LED (red) Source of error
lit flashes (see below for flashing
µC1
codes)
lit off µC2
In the event of a fault the Diag 4 LED indicates the type of error through flashing codes. The flashing
codes are structured as follows:
Flashing sequence
Meaning
Rapid flickering Start of flashing code
First slow sequence Error code
Second slow sequence Error code argument
Start Error code Error code argument
Count the number of flash pulses after the rapid flickering sequence
during the first slow sequence in order to ascertain the error code
during the second slow sequence in order to ascertain the error argument
The flashing code is repeated after the second slow sequence, followed by rapid flickering.
