Description

Designed for decentralized signal routing in demanding environments, the BECKHOFF ERI2338-0001 IO-Link box provides a highly adaptable interface for digital field devices. This robust module features eight digital channels that can be individually parameterized as inputs or outputs, allowing versatile configuration tailored to sensor or actuator requirements. Operating on the IO-Link V1.1 Class B specification, the unit transmits data at high-speed COM 3 rates of 230.4 kbaud.

Housed in a rugged, zinc die-cast enclosure, the module achieves ingress protection ratings of IP65, IP66, and IP67, enabling direct machine-mount installation without control cabinets. Complete electrical isolation between the logic supply (L+) and the actuator load power (P24) ensures system-wide signal integrity and fault isolation in high-noise industrial networks.

Features

  • Configurable 8-channel digital interface operating as inputs or outputs.
  • Robust zinc die-cast housing designed for high-stress industrial applications.
  • Supports IO-Link V1.1 Class B with a COM 3 transmission rate of 230.4 kbaud.
  • M8 screw-type connectors for reliable field device attachment.
  • Individually short-circuit proof outputs rated at 0.5 A per channel.
  • Adjustable input filtering range from 0 to 20 ms.
  • Complete galvanic isolation between L+ control power and P24 load voltage.

Applications

  • Decentralized assembly lines and robotics.
  • Automotive manufacturing and body shop applications.
  • Material handling systems and packaging machinery.
  • Field-level sensor/actuator integration in harsh physical environments.

Installation Guidelines

  • Mount the unit directly onto a flat, rigid machine frame or profile using the two 3.5 mm diameter fixing holes designed for M3 screws.
  • Ensure all M8 and M12 mating cable connections are screwed tight to ensure the IP65/66/67 ingress protection remains fully intact.
  • Seal all unused M8 and M12 ports with certified protective caps to prevent dust and water entry.
  • Ensure proper system grounding paths in compliance with EN 61000-6-2 guidelines to guarantee optimal electromagnetic compatibility.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE
  • UL

What is the primary communication standard of the Beckhoff ERI2338-0001?

The ERI2338-0001 complies with the IO-Link V1.1 Class B specification and supports communication speeds up to 230.4 kbaud (COM 3).

Are the channels on the ERI2338-0001 fixed or configurable?

The module contains 8 digital channels that can be individually configured as either inputs or outputs based on operational demands.

What protection rating does this IO-Link box offer?

It is constructed with a rugged zinc die-cast housing and is rated IP65, IP66, and IP67, making it suitable for direct mounting in harsh wet or dusty machine environments.
