Product Description

Beckhoff IP Compact Box IP3112-B318 module is a high performance, 4 channel differential input device for industrial applications providing accurate and highly reliable measurements. The IP3112-B318 supports input signals in the range of 0/4–20 mA which enables the device to interface with current based sensors and instruments used widely in automation and process control. The performances of the module include the 16-bit resolution that allows for proper data acquisition and precise measurements and control in various applications.

From the aspect of the data communication, the IP3112-B318 has a built-in microcontroller detecting the data transfer rates up to 12 Mbaud, which are essential for fast and reliable data interlinking with other devices and systems. This capability enables fast integration of the commutation systems into high-speed networks to minimize delays in data throughput. Still, it is worth mentioning that the bus interface of the IP3112-B318 is based on the PROFIBUS protocol, which is commonly applied in industrial automation to provide fast and efficient data transfer. This makes the module work with different control systems thus making it flexible to be used in different industries.

The device is powered at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC which is common in industrial control systems hence the system compatibility. Also, due to the use of high-quality materials, the module has protection rating of IP65/IP66/IP67 which means it is protected from the ingress of dust, water jets and can be temporarily submerged in water. This protection makes the IP3112-B318 ideal for indoor and outdoor installation in the harsh industrial environment. It is therefore guaranteed that this module is well suited for use in manufacturing industries, process control and automation due to the high speed data transfer, as well as its durability and accurate measurements.
