Beckhoff IP2041-B200 Fieldbus Box 8-Channel Digital Output Module

Description

Designed for decentralized automation tasks, the IP2041-B200 digital output module enables the direct connection of up to eight digital actuators to the Lightbus system. This industrial Fieldbus Box module processes binary control signals from the automation controller and transmits them to the physical outputs with minimal latency. Operating on a 24 V DC nominal voltage, each channel supports a load current of up to 2 A, with a total collective limit of 12 A across all channels. Connection of actuators is established via robust M8 screw-type connectors, ensuring high vibration resistance and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments without the need for an additional protective enclosure.

Features

• Eight independent digital output channels with status LED indicators.
• High-speed Lightbus fiber optic interface for noise-immune communication.
• Up to 2 A output current per channel for driving heavy inductive or resistive loads.
• IP67 protection rating for direct machine mounting in wet or dusty environments.
• Short-circuit proof outputs with integrated overload protection.
• Compact and rugged housing design optimized for space-constrained installations.

Applications

• Decentralized machine control and assembly lines.
• Automotive manufacturing and robotic cells.
• Material handling, sorting systems, and conveyor lines.
• Packaging machinery and food processing equipment.
• High-EMC interference environments requiring optical fiber isolation.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the module directly onto the machine frame using standard M3 or M4 screws. Ensure the mounting surface is flat to prevent mechanical stress on the housing.
• Fiber Optic Cabling: Maintain the specified minimum bending radius for the Lightbus optical fibers to prevent signal attenuation or physical damage to the core.
• Grounding: Establish a low-impedance connection to the functional earth via the mounting screws or the designated grounding strap.
• Power Supply: Ensure the external 24 V DC power supply is adequately dimensioned to handle the maximum sum current of 12 A under full load conditions.

Compliance and Certifications

• CE
• RoHS Compliant
