Beckhoff KL2408 Digital Output Terminal

The Beckhoff KL2408 is an 8-channel digital output Bus Terminal engineered for reliable switching of binary signals at the process level. Supporting 24 V DC outputs with 0.5 A per channel, this module provides short-circuit and overload protection, along with reverse polarity safeguards. Each channel’s state is clearly indicated via integrated LEDs, and its compact 12 mm width makes it ideal for high-density control cabinet installations.

The KL2408 uses a 1-wire connection scheme and is electrically isolated from the K-bus. All outputs share a common reference, and power is supplied through the terminal’s 24 V power contact.
