Introduction Fig. 1: KM2042 The KM2042 Terminal Module combines 16 digital outputs in a Sub-D plug connector in a compact design. The binary control signals are transferred (electrically isolated) to the actuators at the process level. Like the standard Bus Terminals, the terminal modules are integrated in the I/O system.
Current consumption from the K-bus typically 5 mA Width of a bus terminal block Maximum 64 standard Bus Terminals or 80 cm (one KM2042 corresponds to 2 standard Bus Terminals here) Data width in the input process image 0 bit Data width in the output process image 16 bit...
Risk of electric shock and damage of device! Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals! WARNING Mounting • Fit the mounting rail to the planned assembly location. Version: 2.0.0 KM2042...

Connection X1: Signal connection, digital outputs, D-Sub 25 The KM2042 digital output module transmits the binary control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level. The 16 outputs deliver load currents of up to 0.5 A, although the total current from all the outputs must not exceed 4 A.
