Product Description

The Beckhoff IL2302-B318-0000 Coupler Box is a compact quad-channel input and quad-channel output device which is mainly designed for PROFIBUS systems. Beckhoff is a well-known company and is efficient in technology to streamline and enhance industrial automation processes by offering highly effective, flexible, and scalable solutions for complex problems.

This IL2302-B318-0000 Coupler Box unit operates on a 24 V DC power supply (rated -15%/+20%) and features a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel by offering short-circuit protection. Key connection features include M12 screw-type connectors for both inputs and outputs and M8 male and female sockets for power feed and downstream connection. Input signal thresholds are defined by “0” voltage between -3 to +5 V and “1” voltage ranging from 11 to 30 V, with an input current of 6 mA per channel, in compliance with EN 61131-2, Type 2 standards. The device includes an input filter set to 3.0 ms by optimizing signal processing efficiency. With an IP-Link coupler and integrated tee-connector (M12, 5-pin, B-coded), this IL coupler box series unit supports DP-V1 extensions and auto-detects data transfer rates up to 12 Mbaud. Data transfer time is approximately 0.5 ms with a setup of 10 stations with 32-bit input/output.

This IL2302-B318-0000 Profibus module is enclosed in an XXL housing made of polyamide (PA6) with compact dimensions of 30 mm x 210 mm x 26.5 mm. It has IP65/66/67 protection and the unit meets EMC immunity and emission standards. It also conforms to EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 for vibration and shock resistance. Approved for CE and UL markings, this coupler box is configured via KS2000 or a compatible controller by offering reliable operation across a wide temperature range of 0 to +55°C.
