Description
Decentralized automation architectures utilize the IP2002-B528 digital output module to interface directly with actuators in demanding industrial environments. This high-protection BECKHOFF Fieldbus Box features 8 digital outputs, handling binary control signals with a maximum load capacity of 0.5 A per channel. Integrated with a DeviceNet interface and an onboard T-connector, this module simplifies bus topology design by enabling direct daisy-chaining of the network cable without external splitters.
Housed in a robust, fully sealed enclosure, the IP2002-B528 is designed for cabinet-free installation directly on machinery. This eliminates the need for terminal boxes, reduces wiring complexity, and optimizes signal integrity across long distances. The short-circuit proof outputs and clear LED diagnostics ensure high operational reliability and minimal downtime during maintenance cycles.
Features
- 8 digital outputs rated at 24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel.
- Integrated DeviceNet interface with an onboard T-connector for simplified network looping.
- Robust IP67 ingress protection rating for installation directly in wet, dusty, or harsh environments.
- Connection of field actuators via standard, vibration-resistant M12 screw connectors.
- Short-circuit protected outputs with individual channel diagnostic indicators.
- Compact, lightweight design suitable for mounting directly on moving machine elements.
Applications
- Automotive assembly lines and robotic cells
- Material handling systems and industrial conveyors
- Packaging machinery and automated sorting systems
- Decentralized process equipment requiring IP67 local I/O distribution

Installation Guidelines
- Securely mount the module onto flat surfaces using two M4 screws through the integrated mounting holes.
- Apply the specified tightening torque to all M12 and M8 connectors to guarantee a complete IP67 hermetic seal.
- Ensure grounding continuity by securing the ground connection point to the machine frame or functional earth.
- Avoid routing the fieldbus and actuator cables parallel to high-voltage power lines to mitigate electromagnetic interference.
