Description

The BECKHOFF IP2332-B518 is a compact decentralized Fieldbus Box designed for industrial automation environments requiring distributed signal acquisition and control. Engineered for direct machine-level mounting without the need for control cabinets, this IP65, IP66, and IP67 protected module integrates into CANopen network architectures. It facilitates reliable data communication, process data exchange, and sensor or actuator connection across harsh industrial machinery and plant floors.

Equipped with an integrated CANopen interface, the unit supports extensive process data object (PDO) configurations and diagnostic functions. Power distribution, fieldbus connections, and peripheral signal integration are handled via robust industrial circular connectors, supporting decentralized system topologies where space efficiency and environmental resistance are critical.

Features

  • Integrated CANopen bus interface with automatic baud rate detection from 10 kbaud up to 1 Mbaud
  • Supports up to 16 send and 16 receive process data objects (PDOs)
  • Comprehensive CANopen features including life guarding, node guarding, emergency objects, variable mapping, and store/restore functionality
  • Robust IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection rating for harsh industrial environments without control cabinets
  • Flexible configuration options via the KS2000 configuration software or through service data objects (SDOs) from the controller
  • Integrated M12 tee-connector for streamlined bus wiring topology

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control and automation systems
  • Automotive assembly lines and material handling equipment
  • Packaging and sorting machinery requiring cabinet-free I/O distribution
  • Conveyor systems and distributed manufacturing cells
