This Fieldbus Box accommodates eight digital outputs, each handling high load currents up to 2 A (with a total combined module current capacity of 12 A). The module uses space-saving M8 screw-type connectors for secure I\/O coupling, and features an integrated B-coded M12 T-connector to simplify PROFIBUS loop-through cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eIP2041-B318\u003c\/strong\u003e supports DP-V1 extensions and can be configured through the KS2000 software suite or directly via the master controller.
