Where it sits in the control system
The ES2008 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff proximity sensor installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in conveyor object detection, machine guarding, position feedback, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides standard panel or DIN-rail support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Beckhoff ES2008
Beckhoff ES2008 — Sensor or detector for object detection, distance measurement and status feedback on production lines. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number ES2008; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Communication ports: EtherCAT, Ethernet — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Bus interface: typ. 110 mA — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Response time: <= 1500 Hz switching frequency — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.

Common questions about ES2008
Q.For ES2008, what does the specification table state about bus interface?
The specification table lists bus interface = typ. 110 mA for Beckhoff ES2008. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under operating temperature for catalog number ES2008?
For ES2008, operating temperature is given as -25...+70 °C. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering ES2008, which weight entry should be checked?
The weight entry quoted above is approx. 55 g. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Can the ES2008 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number ES2008 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for ES2008?
Send the full catalog number ES2008, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for Beckhoff ES2008.
