Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF IP5009-B400 is an Interbus-compatible Fieldbus Box module designed to establish a direct connection to absolute SSI encoders. Acting as a single-channel sensor interface, this module reads physical position information from absolute sensors and transmits the data directly to the higher-level Interbus system. Encased in a rugged polyamide XXL housing, this unit is engineered for direct installation on machinery and equipment, eliminating the need for a separate electrical enclosure.

The module is equipped with a high-speed RS485 difference signal interface capable of processing adjustable serial input lengths. Connection terminals include standardized M23 circular connectors for the absolute encoder and the Interbus network, coupled with compact M8 connectors for power routing. These robust physical connections ensure reliable communication and high ingress protection in industrial automation environments.

Features

  • Single-channel SSI absolute encoder interface for high-precision position feedback
  • Direct connection to Interbus networks using standardized M23 circular connections
  • RS485 difference signal input for reliable data transmission in electrically noisy environments
  • Configurable SSI data transfer rates with a standard default of 250 kHz
  • Short-circuit protected sensor power supply sourced directly from the control voltage
  • Durable polyamide housing providing IP65, IP66, and IP67 level protection
  • Compatible with the BECKHOFF KS2000 software suite for simplified parameters setup and diagnostics

Applications

  • Direct machine-mounted absolute position monitoring without protective control cabinets
  • Rotary and linear encoder integration in Interbus-based factory automation
  • Industrial motion control, material handling, and conveyor systems requiring absolute position feedback
