Product Description
Beckhoff IP Compact Box IP1002-B518 is perfectly solvable for systems that require multiple digital signals – thus it is a part of Beckhoff’s IP Compact Box Series as 8-channel digital input. Having a nominal input voltage of 24V DC, it can perform different tasks in the industrial input voltage range. It also accepts an input current of 6 mA so that the system can run with a high measure of current accuracy. The IP1002-B518 is designed using the CANopen, which is also popular for its effectiveness in communication in automation networks. Through CANopen, effective communication of the devices is enhanced hence the performance of the system is enhanced. This module has the feature of being able to detect communication rates automatically which makes the integration process much easier and efficient and provides proper communication in the system.
Another advantage of this module is that it is protected by IP65/IP66/IP67, which is a clear sign that IP1002-B518 is designed for complex industrial conditions. With a strong body construction, it can withstand dust, water and other adversities of nature and can be used both indoors as well as outdoors. It is necessary for a tablet to be robust since it needs to perform optimally under a variety of conditions that are characteristic of the industries that include industrial automation and processing plants.
All in all, while the remote terminal unit Beckhoff IP1002-B518 shows a stable performance, smooth integration in CANopen, and durability of high-grade industrial stainless steel, it can safely be said that it is more than adequate for a lifetime of prolonged usage in harsh circumstances. It is ideal for use in scenarios where a programmed requires safe online data entry and shelter from detracting factors.
