As part of the Beckhoff Fieldbus Box product family, this device integrates digital signal acquisition and switching directly into the machine environment. It features four digital inputs and four digital outputs, engineered to interface with standard industrial sensors and actuators via M8 connection technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommunication with a higher-level control system is established via the DeviceNet fieldbus protocol, allowing seamless integration into distributed automation networks. Housed in a durable, industrial-grade IP67 enclosure, the unit protects internal electronics against harsh operating conditions involving dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The IP2311-B520 operates on a standard 24 V DC industrial supply voltage, providing reliable signal processing and short-circuit-proof output switching for decentralized machine modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour digital input channels for acquiring binary control signals from standard industrial sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour digital output channels capable of switching actuators with a nominal current of 0.5 A per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeviceNet fieldbus interface for transparent network communication and parameterization\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM8 connector technology for secure, plug-and-play sensor and actuator cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRugged IP67 protection class housing designed for direct machine mounting without a control cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal filter and signal processing characteristics with a typical conversion time of 0.2 ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect 24 V DC power supply connection for system electronics and peripheral loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecentralized machine automation and modular plant engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConveyor systems and material handling equipment requiring distributed I\/O points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaging machinery with space-saving, cabinet-free architecture demands\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomated assembly lines and handling units utilizing DeviceNet networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExact Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP2311-B520\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProtocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDeviceNet\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDigital Inputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e24 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDigital Outputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e24 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMax.
