Product Description

The Beckhoff IE6002-0000 is a normal serial interface extension box owing to its design and functionality that belongs to the IE Extension Box Series. It is used to connect devices containing RS232 interface. The device consists of two data channels with a receiving and transmitting (TxD and RxD) ability and works between speeds of 1200 to 115,200 baud. The manufacturer also sets the module to 9600 baud remoted low speed scientific instruments. This tool can be utilized for industrial communication systems very well as possible due to the full-duplex operation mode which enables transmission and receiving of signals at the same time.

The RS232 I/O port can be mated through an M12 screw-type connector which is rugged and suitable for industrial applications. The operating voltage of the IE6002-0000 is 24 V DC with better tolerance of -15% up to +20%. The device can also guarantee high integrity signals by keeping the bit distortion below 3% as it is capable of cable lengths not exceeding 15 meters.

A remarkable characteristic of this module is that it contains a distinguishable feature of transmitting data in a transparent manner. This implies that whatever data that is being transferred through, say, RS232 is passed on to the lower automation device without the help of any packet communications. There is a receive buffer of 128 bytes and 16 bytes of transmit buffer for cooperation in handling the data and the device also conforms to RS232 (EIA-232). It makes available signals that are electrically isolated to ensure no interference when communicating within the industrial setting.
