Product Description

Beckhoff IP Compact Box IP2001-B318 is an 8-channel digital output Fieldbus Box in the safe and efficient IP Compact Box Series. This module has been particularly developed to be compatible with PROFIBUS communication systems, which makes it suitable to be used in harsh industrial automation applications. Flexible load types which include ohmic and inductive loads are supported by the unit, and it has a nominal output voltage of 24 V DC. Another important advantage of the IP2001-B318 is data transfer rate up to 12 Mbaud inclusive of auto detection. This provides high speed data transfer thus facilitating efficient communication between these devices with little or no delays between them and the system in general.

The IP2001-B318 has been designed to operate in challenging environmental conditions; it is designed with an IP65/IP66/IP67 rating, which protects the product against dust and water as well as unfavorable weather conditions. Such protection is especially useful in the industrial setting as it will help protect equipment that is exposed to difficult conditions. Also, the bus interface PROFIBAS makes it easy to connect with other devices that are compatible with the bus thus making it play a central role in many systems of industrial automation.

The unit is designed to function in environmental temperatures between 0 to +55 degree Celsius which also maintains product reliability across temperatures. It is an effective solution for such industries that need reliable digital output modules with high-speed data transferring ability and operating within harsh environments. Conclusively, the Beckhoff IP2001-B318 provide a high-speed data transfer protection and flexibility on the type of load making it a reliable device for industries that use PROFIBUS for their automation systems.
