Description

The BECKHOFF IP4132-B800 is a robust Fieldbus Box designed for decentralized industrial automation applications. Operating as a decentralized fieldbus device, it facilitates the connection of digital and analog peripheral signals directly at the machine level without requiring a control cabinet. Built with a high protection rating, the device integrates seamlessly into industrial networks using an open, documented protocol and provides reliable data transmission and power distribution in harsh factory environments.

This compact module features an integrated bus interface via a 5-pin M12 socket with B-coding and utilizes M8 connectors for power supply feed and downstream connection. It manages control voltage independently while supporting peripheral load requirements based on the connected I/O type. Configuration is supported via the KS2000 software tool, ensuring straightforward setup and maintenance within compatible automation architectures.

Features

• Decentralized fieldbus box architecture designed for machine-level mounting without control cabinets
• Integrated bus interface with one 5-pin M12 socket featuring B-coding
• Power supply connection via one 4-pin M8 male socket for the feed and one 4-pin M8 female socket for downstream connection
• Control voltage range of 24 V DC (-15 percent to +20 percent)
• Box supply current rating of 45 mA plus sensor current consumption up to a maximum of 0.5 A
• Configuration support via the KS2000 setup software
• Electrical isolation between control voltage and the fieldbus interface
• High protection rating of IP65, IP66, and IP67 for demanding industrial environments

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure the system is completely de-energized before beginning any mechanical installation or wiring work.
2. Inspect the IP4132-B800 module and connection cables for any signs of transport damage.
3. Mount the Fieldbus Box securely onto a flat machine surface in the desired variable orientation using appropriate fastening hardware.
4. Connect the 24 V DC control voltage supply to the 4-pin M8 male socket feed and daisy-chain downstream devices using the 4-pin M8 female socket as needed.
5. Attach the fieldbus communication cable to the 5-pin B-coded M12 socket.
6. Verify that all signal lines, sensor connections, and shielding are properly secured and meet environmental protection requirements.
7. Power on the system and perform initial configuration checks using the KS2000 software tool.
