IL2301-B110-0000 by Beckhoff

The IL2301-B110-0000 coupler box from Beckhoff is an integral component of the IL Coupler Box Units designed to provide efficient digital I/O management in EtherCAT applications. Featuring 4 inputs + 4 outputs and an input filter with a response time of 3.0 ms, this unit is engineered for rapid signal processing and precise control in demanding industrial setups. It is primarily intended for distributed digital I/O systems where timely data exchange and secure electrical connections are critical for operation.

Detailed technical specifications include a rated load voltage of 24 V DC with a tolerance of (-15%/+20%), and each channel provides a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel, engineered to be individually short-circuit proof. The device utilizes M8, screw type connectors for both input and output connections, which ensure a robust and reliable interface. Additional technical details such as an auxiliary power current of typ. 20 mA and the capability to support ohmic, inductive, lamp load types further emphasize its versatility and suitability for handling varied industrial loads.

The unit is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to +55°C and can be stored between -25 to +85°C, ensuring durability under harsh environmental conditions. A short-circuit current of typ. 1.5 A and compatibility with a sensor supply that supports up to 0.5 A provide enhanced protection and safety. Conforming to the EN 61131-2, type 2 specification, and capable of fast data transfer at 100 Mbit/s over EtherCAT networks, the coupler box not only guarantees high-speed communication via standard Ethernet Cat.5 cabling but also facilitates simplified integration in complex automation systems. Its robust construction and compliance with rigorous industrial standards make it a valuable asset for ensuring reliable, efficient, and safe operation in modern control environments.
