Description
The Beckhoff KL6904 is a compact, fail-safe controller designed for safe digital output applications, allowing connection to actuators such as contactors and relays with a maximum current of 0.5 A at 24 VDC. It features 4 fail-safe outputs and adheres to international safety standards, including IEC 61508 SIL 3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 Cat. 4, PL e, ensuring high-integrity safety functions in industrial automation environments.
This TwinSAFE terminal integrates seamlessly with Beckhoff's Safety over EtherCAT system, providing robust, real-time communication and fast fault response. Its standard bus terminal design ensures compatibility with other Beckhoff Bus Terminals, making installation straightforward and flexible.
The KL6904 is optimized for energy-efficient operation, consuming a maximum of 250 mA via K-bus and typically 2 W power loss. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to +55 °C, with storage and transport capability from -25 °C to +70 °C, and maintains safe operation in humid conditions (5–95% non-condensing). Its protection rating is IP20, suitable for installation inside control cabinets.
Designed for demanding industrial safety applications, the KL6904 provides configurable fault response times, short cycle times (4–100 ms), and supports secure integration into complex safety architectures, making it an ideal solution for small-scale safety control requirements.
