KM2008 Beckhoff I/O Modules & Remote I/O

Part number KM2008 from Beckhoff, listed in I/O Modules & Remote I/O. KKM Solutions quotes this part with pricing and availability confirmed per order.

The Beckhoff KM2008 is a robust member of the KM Bus Terminals series designed for demanding industrial automation environments. Manufactured by Beckhoff , this bus terminal module supports up to 64 digital output channels configured across eight connectors, ensuring versatile signal distribution. The module operates on a nominal voltage of 24 Volts DC with a tolerance of –15%/+20% and delivers reliable performance within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C . With a protection rating of IP20 and a compact footprint of 123 × 100 × 55 mm , the KM2008 balances durability with space efficiency. Its lightweight construction—310 g with single-pin connectors and 390 g with three-pin connectors—facilitates easy handling and installation. Equipped with spring connection technology and plug connection technology , the KM2008 ensures rapid, tool-free field wiring and accommodates cable cross-sections from 0.08 to 1.5 mm² with an 8 mm stripping length. Each output channel is short-circuit proof and features reverse voltage protection , with a maximum short-circuit current of less than 2 Amps and a breaking energy of under 150 mJ per channel. The module provides 500 Volts of electrical isolation between the K-bus and the field potential, minimizing interference and enhancing signal integrity. Its output channels support lamp, inductive, and resistive loads, delivering up to 0.5 A per channel and sustaining at least 50,000 switching cycles of electrical life . Nominal bit width of 64 outputs in the process image facilitates high-density data mapping to higher-level controllers. Operational reliability is reinforced by a rated voltage of 250 V AC on its push-button switch interface and a mounting hole diameter of 16 mm that aligns with standard panel cutouts. The KM2008 features a single NO contact configuration on its switch, providing straightforward manual control when needed. Installation on a 35 mm DIN rail compliant with EN 60715 offers flexibility in system layout and quick module replacement without disrupting adjacent modules. The module’s compact dimensions and DIN-rail mounting simplify retrofits and new installations alike, while IP20 protection ensures safe operation in controlled indoor conditions. Whether deployed in packaging machinery, conveyor systems, or distributed I/O architectures, the KM2008 delivers precise, high-integrity switching performance.
