Product Description

This product of Beckhoff as IL2301-B110-0000 Coupler Box is an efficient device designed for industrial automation and is ideal for systems requiring distributed digital I/O with EtherCAT connectivity. Beckhoff's product portfolio spans a wide range across the world from highly fast PLCs and powerful IPCs to highly precise I/O modules and motion control systems.

This IL2301-B110-0000 Coupler Box EtherCAT model offers 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs, by allowing efficient control and monitoring in various industrial settings. The device connects via M8 screw-type sockets by ensuring secure connections and easy setup. Inputs have a response time of 3 milliseconds which helps make it quick and responsive. Its signal range for “0” is between -3 to +5 V, and for “1” between 11 to 30 V by ensuring compatibility with common signal types. The input current is 6 mA, while the maximum output current per channel is 0.5 A. Each output holds a short-circuit proof feature meaning it can withstand typical electrical faults without compromising the entire system. Operating at a 24 V DC supply voltage, this IL coupler box EtherCAT unit supports various load types by including inductive, ohmic, and lamp loads, with up to 0.5 A total for connected sensors. It is also built to withstand tough conditions and operates at temperatures ranging from 0 to +55°C.

This IL2301-B110-0000 coupler box EtherCAT integrates with an IP-Link coupler and offers support for up to 78 extension modules by handling up to 624 digital inputs/outputs or 127 analog inputs/outputs. With a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, it allows fast data exchange using standard Ethernet Cat.5 cables, connecting through M12 sockets. Certified with CE and UL approvals, the Beckhoff IL2301-B110 Coupler Box is a versatile device for EtherCAT setups.
