Product Description

Description

Decentralized signal processing directly on machinery is efficiently handled by the IP2300-B200 digital input/output fieldbus box. This rugged device integrates four digital inputs and four digital outputs into a compact, robust housing designed for environments where traditional control cabinets are impractical. By using the high-speed Beckhoff Lightbus system, the module facilitates rapid and noise-immune communication across distributed setups.

The fieldbus box uses plastic optical fibers (APF) to exchange data, providing optical isolation that prevents electromagnetic interference from disrupting signal integrity. It supports 24 V DC I/O signals with quick response times and features comprehensive short-circuit protection across all outputs. Standard M8 connection interfaces simplify wiring, making this unit a reliable component for harsh industrial automation zones.

Features

  • Four 24 V DC digital inputs with 3.0 ms filter time.
  • Four 24 V DC digital outputs rated at 0.5 A per channel.
  • Noise-immune Lightbus system utilizing 1000 micrometer APF plastic fiber-optic cables.
  • Inherent resistance to electromagnetic interference due to fiber-optic data transmission.
  • Direct machine mounting with a high protection rating of IP65, IP66, or IP67.
  • Individually short-circuit proof outputs with typical 1.5 A short-circuit current limit.
  • Feed-through power supply connections via M8 ports for simplified system cabling.

Applications

  • Decentralized manufacturing automation and assembly lines.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems requiring localized I/O control.
  • High-noise environments such as welding cells or heavy machinery zones.
  • Process plants needing field-level I/O integration without protective enclosures.
