Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP2041-B520 is a decentralized digital output module belonging to the Fieldbus Box product family. Designed for machine-level installation without control cabinets, this device integrates 8 digital outputs and interfaces directly with a DeviceNet network. It provides decentralized signal processing in industrial environments requiring high protection ratings.

This Fieldbus Box features M8 connection technology for output channels and supports data transfer rates up to 500 kbaud with automatic detection. It operates on a 24 V DC supply and handles ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads with individual short-circuit protection per channel. The robust housing design allows direct mounting on machine frames or profiles.

Features

  • 8-channel digital output module in a compact block form factor
  • Integrated DeviceNet bus interface with M12 plug connection
  • Data transfer rates up to 500 kbaud with automatic detection
  • Nominal output voltage of 24 V DC with individual short-circuit protection
  • Support for ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads
  • M8 screw-type connection technology for peripheral signals
  • IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection class for harsh industrial environments

Applications

  • Decentralized machine automation without control cabinets
  • Actuator control for packaging and handling machinery
  • Conveyor system switching and signaling
  • Automotive assembly line peripheral control
