Beckhoff IP2002-B520 Fieldbus Box

Description

Designed for decentralized automation requirements directly in the field, the IP2002-B520 fieldbus box serves as an integrated, machine-mountable DeviceNet digital output module. This module permits the direct connection of up to eight digital actuators to a DeviceNet controller, bypassing the necessity for protective electrical cabinets. Each of the eight output channels is engineered to handle nominal load voltages of 24 V DC with up to 0.5 A continuous current, making it highly compatible with ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads. Physical connection is achieved via robust, industry-standard M12 screw-type connectors, ensuring signal integrity in harsh, high-vibration manufacturing environments.

Features

• Provides 8 digital outputs rated at 24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel.
• Features integrated DeviceNet interface with automatic transfer rate detection up to 500 kbaud.
• Equipped with individual short-circuit protection on each output channel (typical short-circuit current of 1.5 A).
• Robust polyamide (PA6) housing certified with IP65/66/67 protection class for mounting outside of control cabinets.
• Supports bit strobe, polling, cyclic, and change of state (COS) communication modes.
• Configurable via KS2000 software tool or via explicit messaging from the master controller.

Applications

• Decentralized industrial control systems
• Automotive manufacturing and assembly lines
• Conveyor systems and material handling machinery
• Machine building and tooling systems operating under DeviceNet networks

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the unit directly onto machine frames using the two integrated 3.5 mm diameter fixing holes designed for standard M3 screws.
• Shielding & Cabling: Use shielded copper cables with a typical sizing of 2 x 2 x 0.25 mm² for all DeviceNet communication runs to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
• Sealing: To maintain the IP65/66/67 rating, any unused M12 and M8 ports must be securely sealed with appropriate industrial protective caps.
