By eliminating the need for a protective control cabinet, this IP67-rated module allows direct machine-level mounting, reducing cabling overhead and streamlining system deployment. The device integrates both digital input and digital output channels into a compact, dust-tight, and water-resistant housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis module features the B518 CANopen fieldbus interface, which includes an integrated T-connector. This integrated design simplifies network topology by enabling direct daisy-chain cabling from box to box without requiring external T-pieces. The \u003cstrong\u003eBECKHOFF IP2310-B518\u003c\/strong\u003e is engineered to interface reliably with controllers over a CANopen network, handling real-time status signals and actuation commands in harsh industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor signal connections, the module provides standardized M8 (diameter 8 mm) circular connectors. These screw-type connectors ensure a vibration-proof mechanical connection, maintaining signal integrity and protection ratings under continuous physical stress. Each channel is equipped with status LEDs for localized diagnostic verification during operation and commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated CANopen fieldbus communication interface with an onboard T-connector for simplified network daisy-chaining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour digital inputs (24 V DC) with fast signal acquisition for standard sensors and switches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour digital outputs (24 V DC) rated at 0.5 A per channel for driving actuators, solenoids, and indicators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact IP67-rated housing for decentralized installation directly on machines or transport systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandardized M8 (diameter 8 mm) circular screw-connection sockets for highly secure, moisture-resistant I\/O connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear diagnostic and status LEDs for both bus communication status and individual I\/O channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecentralized control architectures requiring high-protection I\/O deployment directly in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial handling systems, conveyor lines, and sorting systems utilizing CANopen networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachine tool manufacturing, assembly machines, and packaging equipment with space-constrained cabinet layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRobotic end-of-arm tooling and end-effector signal distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP2310-B518\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Protocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCANopen\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFieldbus Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntegrated T-connector (B518)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Digital Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Digital Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e24 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMax. 0.5 A per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eI\/O Connection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eM8 (diameter 8 mm) circular screw socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Filter Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.2 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIngress Protection Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0 to +55 degC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStorage Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-25 to +85 degC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnections \/ Interfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eInterface or Terminal\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCANopen Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntegrated T-connector for fieldbus communication and daisy-chaining\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eI\/O Channels (Channels 1 -
