Product overview
KL2xxx and KS2xxx 23Version: 3.0.0
Eight-channel, digital output terminal, 24V
DC
The KL2408 (positive switching) and KL2488 (negative switching) digital output terminals connect the binary
control signals from the automation unit on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. The
KL2408/KL2488 variants are protected against reverse polarity connection. They handle load currents with
outputs that are protected against overload and short circuit. The Bus Terminals contain eight channels
which indicate their signal state by means of light emitting diodes. They are particularly suitable for space-
saving use in control cabinets. The connection technology is particularly suitable for single-ended inputs. All
components have to use the same reference point as the KL2408 or KL2488. The power contacts are looped
through. In the KL2408 terminal, the outputs are supplied by the 24V power contact. In the KL2488 terminal,
they are supplied via the 0V power contact.
