Product Description
The IP2332-B528 module from Beckhoff provides robust and versatile connectivity within automated industrial systems. As part of their IP Compact Box Series, this device enables centralized management of inputs and outputs with its combination of four channels for each. Connection is through M12 screw terminals, establishing secure and reliable interfacing with field devices. Operating at a nominal 24V DC, inputs are filtered to 0.2ms to filter noise while accurately capturing fast signals.
With a durable plastic enclosure, the IP2332-B528 is designed for continuous use in demanding industrial environments. It maintains an IP65, IP66, and IP67 rating to withstand impacts, dust, water, and hazardous materials without degradation. This protection enables placement at machinery endpoints or along transportation routes without concerns of degradation. The high 2A maximum current per output channel also accommodates commonly used load types like lamps and inductors. Each channel is short-circuit proof for continuous safety even during wiring errors.
Beyond robust connectivity, the IP2332-B528 enhances productivity through powerful built-in processing capabilities. Data transfer mediums support automatic baud rate detection up to 500kbps to maximize EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Ethernet/IP integration. Automated configuration reduces programming overhead, while distributed intelligence executes logic locally to minimize network loads. Engineers gain a flexible multi-network solution through dual M12 ports providing bus connectivity options. The 24VDC supply power is robustly protected to ensure inputs and outputs remain available at all times. Beckhoff applied over decades of application experience into the IP2332-B528 design. Functionality, lifecycle costs, and installation simplicity remain foremost priorities. Modules install using compact DIN-rail mounting, conserving cabinet space in crowded control rooms.
