Product Description

This part IL2301-B110 of Beckhoff is a digital coupler box designed for EtherCAT systems to be used in industrial automation tasks. With a strong focus on durability and flexibility, Beckhoff's products stand out for their cutting-edge features and compact construction by making them an excellent choice for long-term, high-performance solutions.

This IL2301-B110 coupler box contains 4 input channels and 4 output channels in which each is designed for 24V DC operation for communication with connected devices and quick response times. The inputs have a 3 ms response time, which helps the system process data quickly. The voltage for a "0" signal is between -3 and +5 V, and for a "1" signal, it's between 11 and 30 V, with an input current of 6 mA. Each output can handle up to 0.5 A and is protected against short circuits to prevent damage. This IL coupler box uses M8 screw connectors for both input/output and power connections. It is also built to handle vibration and shocks, meeting EN 60068 standards, and complies with EN 61000 standards for immunity to electromagnetic interference. For communication, the box uses EtherCAT with a data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s over Ethernet Cat.5 cables.

The IL2301-B110 coupler box is covered by a sturdy plastic casing and meets IP65, IP66, and IP67 standards, which means it’s protected from dust and water. It works in temperatures between 0°C and 55°C and can be stored in places as cold as -25°C. The device can power sensors with a maximum supply of 0.5 A and is made to be safe with protection against short circuits. It runs on 24 V DC power. There are two M12 sockets for connecting to a network in a line, and it can connect up to 100 meters away from other devices.
