The KL2502 output terminal modulates the pulse width of a binary signal, and outputs it electrically isolated from the K-bus. The mark/space ratio is prescribed by a 16 bit value from the automation unit. The output stage is protected against overload and short-circuit. The Bus Terminal contains two channels that indicate their signal state by means of light emitting diodes. The LEDs are driven in time with the outputs and show the mark/space ratio by their brightness.
The KL2512 switches to negative potential and enables direct connection of different ohmic loads. The output signal is a pulse-width modulated voltage. The typical load of an LED group or an incandescent lamp is connected between the positive side of the supply voltage and the output of the KL2512. Via the fieldbus the output can be set independently for two channels with a resolution of more than 30,000 steps. The PWM frequency can be changed. The power transistors switch the ground connection and are galvanically isolated from the internal K-bus.
