Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP1502-B730 is a high-performance Fieldbus Box designed to count fast digital pulses within Modbus RTU/ASCII networks. Operating directly in harsh industrial environments without a protective control cabinet, this device integrates two 32-bit high-speed counter channels capable of processing input frequencies up to 100 kHz.

The module incorporates two counter inputs, two gate inputs, and two up/down direction switches. This configuration allows flexible pulse processing, direction detection, and counting gate control. Field signals are connected via standard M12 screw-type connectors, while the integrated sensor supply provides short-circuit protected power directly to the connected encoders or proximity sensors.

Communication with the higher-level controller is established using Modbus RTU or ASCII protocols over an RS485 physical interface. Device configuration, including address and baud rate selection, can be performed using local address selection switches or the KS2000 commissioning software. The physical design features a compact polyamide housing with IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection ratings, enabling direct on-machine mounting.

Features

  • Dual-channel high-speed counting with 32-bit counter depth per channel.
  • Integrated RS485 interface supporting Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols.
  • Selectable baud rates ranging from 150 to 38,400 baud.
  • Six total digital inputs configured as two counter inputs, two gate inputs, and two up/down switches.
  • Two short-circuit-proof digital outputs/sensor supplies rated at 24 V DC, 0.5 A.
  • Direct machine mounting with high protection rating (IP65/66/67).
  • B-coded M12 bus interface connection for reliable RS485 communication.
  • M8 connections for power feed and downstream distribution.

Applications

  • High-speed pulse acquisition from rotary encoders, flow meters, and proximity sensors.
  • On-machine part counting, length measurement, and speed tracking in packaging machinery.
  • Decentralized signal processing in distributed manufacturing lines without electrical enclosures.
  • Integration with PLC systems utilizing Modbus RTU/ASCII communication.
