Description

Decentralized fieldbus architectures require robust, direct-to-machine interfaces to manage peripheral signals without protective enclosures. The IP4112-B730 fieldbus box serves as a Modbus RTU/ASCII interface module designed for direct mounting on machinery in harsh industrial environments. This module enables reliable serial communication via Modbus protocol, supporting data transfer rates up to 38,400 baud. By utilizing standardized M12 and M8 connection systems, it simplifies field wiring and ensures high ingress protection.

Features

  • Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol support with configurable baud rates from 150 to 38,400 baud.
  • Flexible configuration via integrated address selection switches or KS2000 software.
  • High-level environmental protection rated at IP65, IP66, and IP67 for cabinet-free installation.
  • Standardized 5-pin B-coded M12 bus interface.
  • Electrical isolation between control voltage and fieldbus circuitry.
  • Compact, vibration-resistant housing conforming to EN 60068-2-6.

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control and data acquisition.
  • Factory automation and assembly lines.
  • Process engineering in wet or dusty environments.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
