Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP1502-B520 is a high-performance, decentralized 2-channel digital input counter module designed to interface directly with DeviceNet industrial networks. This Fieldbus Box is built to capture rapid pulse counts and process high-frequency input signals independently of the fieldbus cycle time, ensuring precision in demanding industrial synchronization and measurement applications.

Equipped with 2 independent 32-bit counter channels, the module features a comprehensive set of auxiliary signal lines, including 2 gate inputs and 2 up/down switches. This configuration allows for real-time control over counting direction, enabling versatile configuration options directly on the machine. To facilitate direct sensor connection, the module provides a short-circuit-proof 24 V DC sensor supply alongside two short-circuit-proof digital outputs rated at 0.5 A each.

Housed in a rugged, low-profile polyamide enclosure, the BECKHOFF IP1502-B520 boasts an IP65/66/67 protection rating, allowing direct machine mounting without the need for an additional protective electrical cabinet. Signal and power lines are easily managed via industry-standard M12 and M8 connections, making it an excellent choice for decentralized physical architectures.

Features

  • Direct DeviceNet integration with automatic baud rate detection up to 500 kbaud.
  • Two independent 32-bit counter channels with a maximum counting frequency of 100 kHz.
  • Configurable counting behavior with 2 gate inputs and 2 up/down direction switches.
  • Integrated sensor supply derived from control voltage, providing up to 0.5 A short-circuit-protected output.
  • Two short-circuit-proof 24 V DC auxiliary digital outputs rated at 0.5 A.
  • M12 screw-type signal connections and M8 control voltage distribution connectors.
  • Rugged polyamide (PA6) housing requiring no protective control cabinet.

Applications

  • Decentralized high-speed piece and pulse counting in conveyor and sorting lines.
  • Position, distance, and velocity measurement utilizing incremental rotary encoders.
  • Decentralized flow meters and liquid dosing measurement.
  • On-machine installation in wet, dusty, or high-vibration manufacturing environments.
