Description

Decentralized industrial environments require rugged, high-performance I/O routing directly at the machine interface. The BECKHOFF IP2041-B518 is an IP67-rated Fieldbus Box designed to distribute 8 digital output signals over a high-speed CANopen network. Operating at a nominal 24 V DC, this module offers robust switching capabilities, delivering up to 2 A per individual channel with short-circuit protection, making it ideal for commanding valves, actuators, and contactors directly in harsh environments without an electrical cabinet.

Equipped with an integrated T-connector for the CANopen bus line, the IP2041-B518 simplifies linear network topology by allowing incoming and outgoing fieldbus lines to be daisy-chained without additional external splitters. Its M8 connection interface ensures tight, vibration-resistant connections for digital signals, while its polyamide housing stands up to moisture, dust, and mechanical stress in demanding physical plants.

Features

8 independent 24 V DC digital outputs rated at 2 A per channel (12 A cumulative limit).
Built-in CANopen physical interface via integrated M12 T-connector.
Automatic baud rate detection from 10 kbaud up to 1 Mbaud.
Short-circuit proof outputs with individual diagnostics.
IP65/66/67 environmental protection for direct machine mounting.
Standard M8 screw-type connection interfaces for reliable field signaling.

Applications

Decentralized packaging machinery and sorting lines.
Automobile assembly plants and robotic welding stations.
Material handling conveyor lines.
Pneumatic valve manifold control.

Installation Guidelines

Mount the module directly to flat machinery frames using the 2 pre-molded mounting holes (3.5 mm diameter, compatible with M3 screws).
Ensure all unused M8 and M12 interfaces are fitted with matching protective caps to maintain the integrity of the IP67 moisture seal.
Verify that overall power consumption does not exceed the maximum aggregate limit of 12 A across all output channels.
Observe standard shielding practices for the CANopen trunk line, using shielded copper cables designed for high-noise industrial sectors.

Key Features:

What is the maximum current rating per output on the Beckhoff IP2041-B518?

Each digital output channel can drive up to 2 A individually. However, the cumulative total current across all channels must not exceed 12 A.

Does the IP2041-B518 require an external T-connector for CANopen daisy-chaining?

No, the module features an integrated T-connector inside the housing, featuring one M12 plug and one M12 socket for direct, inline CANopen daisy-chain connections.

What protection class is the housing rated for?

It is rated IP65, IP66, and IP67 in compliance with EN 60529, meaning it is protected against dust and water immersion, enabling direct machine mounting without an enclosure.

What tools are needed to configure the module parameters?

Configuration can be achieved directly via the CANopen controller through Service Data Objects (SDOs) or by using Beckhoff's KS2000 software.

What types of electrical loads can this module switch?

The outputs are rated to switch ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads operating at 24 V DC.
