Product Description

This Beckhoff product IL2301-B200 is a Coupler Box Lightbus used for versatile I/O solutions in industrial automation applications. Beckhoff products are designed to be scalable and modular meaning they can be manufactured to fit small-scale projects or large, complex systems. This adaptability makes their solutions suitable for various operations.

This IL2301-B200 Coupler box Lightbus unit features a compact design with 4 digital inputs and 4 outputs which is compatible with EN 61131-2 standards. Its IP65 protection with 66 and 67 rating housing provides reliable protection against dust and moisture by making it suitable for toxic areas. It supports up to 254 I/O stations and 16,192 I/O points, with data transferred via APF fiber-optic cables at speeds up to 2.5 Mbaud. With a distance capability of 45 meters between stations, this IL coupler box Lightbus ensures flexible installation across larger setups. Input and output connections are M8 screw type offering secure and stable wiring. Inputs have a 3.0 ms filter by accommodating industrial requirements for reliable signal processing. It operates on a 24V DC supply, with channels individually short-circuit proof allowing a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel. For higher power demands auxiliary power connections are available via M8 sockets by offering downstream connections.

This IL2301-B200 Lightbus coupler box is well suited to applications requiring flexible configurations. The IL2301-B200 supports up to 120 extension modules, each handling 512 bytes for both input and output. Configuration is straightforward, via the KS2000 software or through a compatible controller. Its lightweight design, at approximately 250 g allows for easy handling and installation. The data transfer time is exceptionally fast at 0.26 ms for 10 modules with 32-bit inputs and outputs by allowing for responsive and efficient communication
