Description

Designed for decentralized automation tasks, the Beckhoff IP2310-B730 is a rugged, IP67-rated fieldbus box module featuring 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. This module establishes reliable communication using serial RTU/ASCII protocols over an RS485 physical interface, enabling robust data exchange directly on the machinery. The integrated 8 mm snap-type connectors facilitate rapid peripheral connections, making it optimal for direct machine mounting without protective enclosures.

By shifting the I/O level directly into the field, the IP2310-B730 significantly reduces wiring overhead and control cabinet space requirements. Built-in short-circuit protection for both sensor supply and outputs ensures operational reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Features

  • Direct connection to RS485 serial fieldbus networks using RTU/ASCII protocols.
  • Supports multiple data transfer rates from 150 baud up to 38,400 baud.
  • Four digital inputs with a fast 0.2 ms input filter.
  • Four short-circuit protected digital outputs rated at 0.5 A per channel.
  • Robust PA6 polyamide housing with IP65, IP66, and IP67 ingress protection.
  • Address configuration via integrated rotary selection switches or KS2000 software.

Applications

  • Decentralized machinery control and assembly systems.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
  • Process automation in harsh industrial environments.
  • Remote I/O monitoring in manufacturing plants.

    Installation Guidelines

    • Mount vertically or horizontally on flat machine surfaces using two 3.5 mm diameter fixing holes for M3 screws.
    • To achieve IP67 protection, ensure all unused I/O and communication interfaces are sealed with watertight protective caps.
    • Use only screened, twisted-pair copper cabling (2 x 0.25 mm²) for the RS485 communication line to avoid electromagnetic interference.
    • Observe polarity and voltage tolerances on the 24 V DC control voltage input to prevent logic-side damage.
