Product Description

The IP1000-B528 I/O module from Beckhoff's IP Compact Box Series offers robust functionality through its eight inputs. Featuring a nominal input voltage of 24 V DC with variations of 15% to 20%, the device operates reliably within industrial power specifications. Snap-type connections provide secure wiring to field sensors while maintaining an IP65, IP66, and IP67 rating against dust, water, and other process conditions. This stringent protection, along with conformance to vibration and EMC standards, enables deployment in demanding manufacturing environments.

Each input channel accommodates typical currents of 6 mA, well-suited for interfacing with a wide range of proximity, pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters. An integrated 3 millisecond filter eliminates signal interference to accurately detect process changes. Input states are clearly distinguished with thresholds of -3 to 5 V for low signals and 11 to 30 V for activated high signals per EN 61131-2 specifications. Continuous monitoring and diagnostics ensure the integrity of measurements.

Power and I/O linking utilize robust M8 connections. An onboard sensor supply rated to 0.5 amps powers connected devices, while downstream daisy-chaining supports expansion of modular automation cells. Centralizing I/O processing eliminates the need for extensive wiring back to control cabinets. The IP1000-B528 occupies minimal space with a compact aluminum housing designed for compact installation near machines. CE and UL certification guarantees compliance with international functional safety standards, critical for personnel protection. Operation verification is simplified through Beckhoff TwinCAT automation software and 8-bit digital signals integrated into the process image. A temperature operating range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius with an expanded storage range allows reliable year-round use.
