Beckhoff IP2000-B200 Fieldbus Box 8-Channel Digital Output Module

Description

Engineered for decentralized automation tasks, the IP2000-B200 serves as a robust Fieldbus Box interface within the Beckhoff Lightbus system. This module features 8 digital outputs, handling actuator control directly in the field without requiring an additional protective control cabinet. By routing signals via the highly deterministic Lightbus fiber-optic ring structure, the unit ensures high-speed, noise-immune data communication even in environments with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The IP2000-B200 digital output module connects binary control signals from the automation device to the actuators at the process level. This localized connection significantly reduces cabling costs, simplifies troubleshooting, and optimizes system diagnostic capabilities down to the individual channel level.

Features

• Equipped with 8 digital output channels for direct actuator control.
• Utilizes the high-speed Beckhoff Lightbus fiber-optic communication system.
• Standard Ø8 mm optical fiber connectors for secure and reliable data transmission.
• Short-circuit proof outputs with integrated protective wiring.
• Local status LED indicators for quick diagnostic verification of each channel.
• Compact, machine-mountable design to save space and reduce wiring runs.

Applications

• Machine building and manufacturing systems
• Automated assembly and packaging lines
• Material handling and high-speed sorting conveyors
• Environments requiring high immunity to electromagnetic interference
