KM1008-0002

The Beckhoff KM1008-0002 is a high-performance bus terminal module from the KM Bus Terminals family by Beckhoff, engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. Designed for a Nominal Voltage of 24 V DC, the module delivers reliable digital I/O functionality through plug-in connection technology. This terminal conforms to EN 61131-2, type 1 standards and supports 64 inputs arranged in an 8×8 configuration, making it ideal for centralized monitoring and control tasks. With a compact form factor and robust construction, the KM1008-0002 seamlessly integrates into existing system architectures, ensuring consistent performance even under fluctuating supply conditions.

The bus terminal’s electrical design features a Current Consumption (K-bus) of typ. 3 mA and requires no Current Consumption (power contacts), optimizing energy efficiency across extended installations. Inputs exhibit a typical Input Current of 5 mA and incorporate a 3.0 ms Input Filter to suppress transient noise. Signal thresholds range from -3...+5 V for "0" levels up to 15...30 V for "1" levels, providing clear discrimination under variable line conditions. The module’s Connection system utilizes standardized plug connectors for swift field wiring, while the built-in Input Circuit Standard ensures full compliance with industry safety norms.

Engineered for resilience, the terminal maintains full functionality across an Operating Temperature span of 0...+55°C and can withstand Storage Temperature extremes from -25...+85°C. The robust design meets EN 60068-2-27 Shock Resistance and EN 60068-2-6 Vibration Resistance requirements, safeguarding performance in high-shock or vibration-prone installations. Comprehensive EMC immunity/emission ratings per EN 61000-6-2/6-4 mitigate electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal integrity near power electronics. The module’s low mass—310 g with a 1-pin connector or 390 g with a 3-pin connector—minimizes DIN rail loading without compromising ruggedness.

Integration is simplified through a 35 mm DIN rail mount compliant with EN 60715, and the device offers 500 V isolation between the K-bus and field potential, guaranteeing operator safety and system integrity. The KM1008-0002 is tailored for seamless interoperability with Beckhoff’s I/O backbones and automation controllers, streamlining installation in distributed control architectures. Its adherence to international standards and modular connectivity options make it suitable for factory automation cells, process control systems, material handling equipment, and energy management applications where reliable digital I/O is paramount.
