The inputs are positive switching (KL1408\/KL1418 family) and employ a 1-wire connection per channel with a common 0 V reference on the power terminal, delivering a simple, reliable wiring scheme while keeping galvanic isolation from the EtherCAT bus. Each channel can detect a high (24 V) or low (0 V) state and the terminal transmits the corresponding binary state to the EtherCAT master; state changes propagate in roughly 3 ms, enabling responsive monitoring of sensors and switches within a moving process. As part of Beckhoff’s KL14x8 digital input family, the KL1408 integrates into a Beckhoff EtherCAT I\/O system for scalable, real-time machine control. Typical applications include reading the status of pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and other 24 V DC devices in automation tasks such as packaging lines, conveyors, and general manufacturing equipment. The eight independent inputs provide a compact, easy-to-wire solution for digital sensing, with robust isolation to protect the controller from process-side transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beckhoff","offers":[{"title":"New Surplus No Box","offer_id":51676799533358,"sku":null,"price":344.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_b8e69758-c0d9-4497-b64f-870e08d057e5.jpg?v=1769553584","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/beckhoff-kl1408-8-channel-digital-input-ethercat-terminal","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
