Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP2312-B200 is an IP67-rated Fieldbus Box designed for decentralized automation tasks in demanding industrial environments. This compact module enables direct, cabinet-free mounting on machines, simplifying field-level wiring and reducing overall installation footprints. It functions as a Lightbus-compatible interface unit, integrating both digital input and digital output processing into a single ruggedized assembly.

Equipped with 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs, the BECKHOFF IP2312-B200 connects standard 24 V DC sensors and actuators directly to the high-speed Beckhoff Lightbus system. Signals are transferred via fiber-optic IP-Link communication channels, ensuring high noise immunity and fast signal processing across distributed setups.

The device is constructed with robust M12 connections to guarantee moisture and dust protection. This design ensures highly reliable signal transmission and physical durability in areas subject to vibration, washdowns, or contamination.

Features

  • Direct integration into Lightbus (IP-Link) industrial network architectures.
  • Decentralized design with 4 digital inputs (24 V DC) and 4 digital outputs (24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel).
  • IP67-rated housing for reliable operation directly on machinery without a protective enclosure.
  • M12 connection technology for secure, vibration-resistant sensor and actuator cabling.
  • Local status LEDs indicating fieldbus communication states and I/O status for simplified diagnostics.
  • Compact form factor suitable for tight mounting spaces.

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control and factory automation.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems requiring IP67 distributed I/O.
  • Pneumatic and hydraulic valve control systems.
  • Assembly lines utilizing high-speed Lightbus communications in harsh environments.
