Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP2022-B518 is an 8-channel digital output Fieldbus Box designed for decentralized industrial automation networks utilizing the CANopen communication protocol. Housed in a robust XXL-format enclosure with IP65/66/67 protection ratings, this module is engineered to operate directly in harsh machine environments without requiring a control cabinet. It connects digital actuators and peripheral devices via M12 connectors while integrating a T-connector for straightforward daisy-chaining of the fieldbus network.

This Fieldbus Box features eight digital outputs rated at 24 V DC with a maximum load current of 2 A per channel, incorporating individual short-circuit protection. Control voltage and auxiliary power are supplied via M8 connectors, allowing power to be fed and forwarded downstream to adjacent modules. Configuration can be managed through the KS2000 software tool or directly via the controller using service data objects (SDOs), supporting versatile commissioning and integration workflows in distributed control architectures.

Features

    8-channel digital output configuration designed for decentralized actuator control
    Integrated CANopen fieldbus interface with automatic data transfer rate detection from 10 kbaud up to 1 Mbaud
    Integrated T-connector featuring 1 x M12 plug (5-pin) and 1 x M12 socket (5-pin) for bus feed and downstream connection
    Outputs supply up to 2 A per channel with individual short-circuit proof behavior and total current limitation
    Power supply connections via M8 male socket (feed) and M8 female socket (downstream connection)
    XXL-format polyamide (PA6) housing rated to IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection classes
    CANopen features include 16 send and 16 receive PDOs, node guarding, life guarding, emergency objects, and variable mapping

Applications

    Decentralized machine building and plant engineering without control cabinets
    Material handling and conveyor systems requiring distributed digital actuation
    CANopen-based industrial automation networks and modular manufacturing lines
    Automated assembly systems requiring ruggedized IP67 I/O modules close to sensors and actuators

Installation Guidelines

    Ensure the entire system is de-energized before mounting, wiring, or servicing the module.
    Inspect the IP2022-B518 housing, M12 bus connectors, and M8 power sockets for any visible transport damage or contamination.
    Mount the XXL housing securely onto a flat surface using two M3 screws through the 3.5 mm mounting holes.
    Connect the CANopen network cables using the integrated M12 T-connector interface, ensuring proper bus termination at the network ends.
    Attach the 24 V DC control voltage supply to the M8 male socket feed and verify downstream connections if chaining power to additional modules.
    Verify all cable connections, shield grounding, and potential assignments before restoring power to the system.
