Beckhoff PLC module KL2408

The Beckhoff KL2408 is an 8-channel digital output terminal designed to interface binary control signals from an automation unit to actuators at the process level, ensuring electrical isolation between control and field levels. 

Key Features:

• Output Channels: Eight independent channels, each capable of handling up to 0.5 A current.
• Signal Indicators: Each channel is equipped with an LED to display its signal state, facilitating easy monitoring.
• Connection Technology: Supports 1-wire connections, allowing direct interfacing with actuators.
• Protection Mechanisms:
  • Overload and Short-Circuit Protection: Safeguards each output channel against electrical faults.
  • Reverse Polarity Protection: Prevents damage from incorrect voltage connections.
• Compact Design: Optimized for space-saving installations in control cabinets.

Specifications:

• Nominal Voltage: 24 V DC.
• Current Load: Maximum of 0.5 A per channel.
• Electrical Isolation: Ensures separation between the K-bus and field potential.
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to +60°C.
• Protection Rating: IP20, suitable for indoor environments.

Applications:

The KL2408 is ideal for applications requiring reliable digital signal interfacing, such as:

• Industrial Automation: Controlling actuators like solenoids, relays, and motors.
• Building Automation: Managing lighting systems, HVAC controls, and security mechanisms.
• Process Control Systems: Interfacing with various field devices to ensure precise process management.
