Product Description

The KL2408-0018 from Beckhoff is an 8-channel digital output terminal that can be used to send binary data to actuators and control them. Beckhoff is known for making high-performance automation tools that can be used in a wide range of industrial settings. The digital output terminal has reliable output switching and electrical isolation to ensure safe and effective activities.

The KL2408-0018 digital output terminal has eight positive-switching digital outlets, and each works at a voltage of 24 V DC. The output terminal works with a 1-wire link technology that makes wiring in control systems easier. It protects against short circuits with a maximum current of less than 2 A and against wire mistakes by preventing reverse polarity. The terminal can break each output channel with less than 150 mJ of energy. Together with the load, the terminal uses about 60 mA of current on the power contacts and 18 mA on the K-bus. With dimensions of 12 mm (W) x 100 mm (H) x 68 mm (D), the KL2408-0018 is small enough to fit in places where room is limited.

The environmental specs of the KL2408-0018 ensure that it will work reliably in temperatures from -25°C to +60°C and up to 95% relative humidity without condensation. The terminal meets IP20 standards for protection, which means it can handle solid items but not water. The terminal has been cleared by UL, CE, IECEx, ATEX, DNV GL, and cFMus, so it can be used in a number of controlled areas. Wake Industrial will replace the digital output terminal if it breaks within a year, and we ship all over the world to meet your industrial automation needs.
