Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP2000-B518 is a Fieldbus Box module designed for decentralized industrial automation architectures. This module provides 8 digital output channels, allowing direct control of field actuators. Operating on the CANopen protocol, it acts as a decentralized node to distribute control commands directly where they are required in the system.

To optimize field installations, the BECKHOFF IP2000-B518 features Ø8 mm (M8) snap-in connection technology for fast and secure signal wiring. The fieldbus connection is facilitated by an integrated T-connector, which simplifies CANopen daisy-chain cabling and reduces the need for external junction boxes or specialized distribution hardware.

Features

  • 8 digital output channels for actuator control
  • CANopen protocol communication interface
  • Integrated T-connector for simplified fieldbus cabling
  • Ø8 mm (M8) snap-in connections for secure and efficient wiring
  • Compact, field-mountable form factor for decentralized deployment

Applications

  • Decentralized control architectures in industrial environments
  • Distributed actuator switching within CANopen networks
  • Machine-level I/O routing requiring localized digital outputs

Installation Guidelines

  1. Verify that the module model BECKHOFF IP2000-B518 matches your system design specifications.
  2. Ensure all electrical power sources are de-energized before beginning physical installation.
  3. Mount the Fieldbus Box securely to the machine frame or mounting surface using appropriate fasteners.
  4. Connect the CANopen fieldbus cabling to the integrated T-connector, verifying the proper bus termination is maintained if this is the final node.
  5. Attach the actuator cables to the corresponding Ø8 mm snap-in ports, ensuring they are fully seated to maintain connection integrity.
  6. Set the appropriate CANopen node ID and baud rate parameters in your master configuration prior to powering the system.

Replacement Recommendations

When replacing a BECKHOFF IP2000-B518, document all fieldbus address configurations and physical cabling connections before disconnecting the existing module. Ensure the replacement module is addressed identically to prevent network mismatch errors upon system restart.
