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 60715). 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© connection 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 three 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 the safety circuit 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.
2.2.2 Safety concept
TwinSAFE: Safety and I/O technology in one system
∙Extension of the familiar Beckhoff I/O system with TwinSAFE terminals
∙Freely selectable mix of safe and standard signals
∙Logic link of the I/Os in the KL6904 TwinSAFE logic terminal

∙Transfer of safety-relevant data via any media (“genuine black channel”)
∙TwinSAFE communication via fieldbus systems such as EtherCAT, Lightbus, PROFIBUS or Ethernet
∙IEC 61508:2010 SIL 3 compliant
Configuring instead of wiring: the TwinSAFE configurator
∙Configuration of the TwinSAFE system via the TwinCAT System Manager
∙System Manager for editing and displaying all bus parameters
∙Certified function blocks such as emergency stop, operation mode, etc.
∙Simple handling
∙Typical function blocks for machine safety
∙Freely selectable fieldbus connection with the KL6904 TwinSAFE logic terminal

System description
TwinSAFE digital input (KL1904) and output terminal (KL2904)
∙All current safety sensors can be connected
∙Operation with a TwinSAFE logic terminal
∙KL1904 with 4 fail-safe inputs for sensors (24 VDC) with floating contacts
∙KL2904 with four safe channels for actuators (24 VDC, 0.5 A per channel)
∙conforming to IEC 61508:2010 SIL 3
2.2.3 KL1904, KL2904 – Bus Terminals with 4 fail-sa fe 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.
2.2.4 KL6904 TwinSAFE logic terminal with 4 fail-safe outputs
The KL6904 TwinSAFE logic terminal is a digital output terminal with four fail-safe outputs with 0.5 A, 24 VDC. The KL6904 meets the requirements of IEC 61508:2010 SIL 3 and
DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2006 (Cat 4, PL e).
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.

3.2 Intended use
Caution - Risk of injury!
TwinSAFE terminals may only be used for the purposes described below!
WARNING
The TwinSAFE terminals expand the application range of Beckhoff Bus Terminal system with functions that enable them to be used for machine safety applications. The TwinSAFE terminals are designed for machine safety functions and directly associated industrial automation tasks. They are therefore only approved for applications with a defined fail-safe state. This safe state is the wattless state. Fail-safety according to the relevant standards is required.
The TwinSAFE terminals enable connection of:
∙24 VDC sensors (KL1904) such as
emergency stop push buttons, pull cord switches, position switches, two-hand switches, safety mats, light curtains, light barriers, laser scanners etc.
∙24 VDC actuators (KL2904, KL6904) such as
contactors, protective door switches with tumbler, signal lamps, servo drives etc.
Test pulses
When selecting actuators please ensure that the KL6904 test pulses do not Note lead to actuator switching or diagnostic message from the KL6904.
The test pulses of the KL6904 terminal outputs are not configurable and cannot be switched off.
The following modules were developed for these tasks:
∙The KL1904 terminal is an input module with digital inputs.
∙The KL2904 terminal is an output module with digital outputs.
∙The KL6904 terminal is a logic module with digital outputs.
These modules are suitable for operation with
∙Beckhoff BKxxxx series Bus Couplers
∙Beckhoff BXxxxx series Bus Terminal Controllers (with firmware version ≥ 1.20) (Beckhoff BCxxxx series Bus Terminal Controllers are not supported!)
∙Beckhoff CXxxxx series Embedded PCs with K-Bus connection
Follow the machinery directive
The TwinSAFE terminals may only be used in machines according to the Machinery CAUTION Directive.
Ensure traceability
The buyer has to ensure the traceability of the device via the serial number.
