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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 digital output channels for actuator control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCANopen protocol communication interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated T-connector for simplified fieldbus cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eØ8 mm (M8) snap-in connections for secure and efficient wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, field-mountable form factor for decentralized deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecentralized control architectures in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistributed actuator switching within CANopen networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachine-level I\/O routing requiring localized digital outputs\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  \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\u003eIP2000-B518\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Box (Digital Output)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eElectrical and Communication\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCANopen\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 digital outputs\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\u003eOutput Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.5 A per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBus Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntegrated T-connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eI\/O Connection Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eØ8 mm (M8) snap-in connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnections \/ Interfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eInterface\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 x Ø8 mm Snap-In Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDigital outputs for actuator connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCANopen Port with T-Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus network input and loop-through\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVerify that the module model BECKHOFF IP2000-B518 matches your system design specifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure all electrical power sources are de-energized before beginning physical installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMount the Fieldbus Box securely to the machine frame or mounting surface using appropriate fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnect the CANopen fieldbus cabling to the integrated T-connector, verifying the proper bus termination is maintained if this is the final node.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttach the actuator cables to the corresponding Ø8 mm snap-in ports, ensuring they are fully seated to maintain connection integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet the appropriate CANopen node ID and baud rate parameters in your master configuration prior to powering the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReplacement Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen replacing a BECKHOFF IP2000-B518, document all fieldbus address configurations and physical cabling connections before disconnecting the existing module.
