IE2002-0000

The IE2002-0000 extension box unit from Beckhoff integrates seamlessly into the IE Extension Box Units series, offering robust performance in demanding industrial automation applications. This cylindrical sensor features a sensing distance of 4 mm and a flush mounting type, delivering precise detection while maintaining a low profile. Constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing material and a cylindrical housing style, the sensor ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance. Operating on a broad operating voltage range of 10-30 V DC, it accommodates diverse power supplies common in manufacturing and logistics systems. The unit’s IP67 protection class rating guarantees total protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, making it ideal for harsh environments. Active reverse polarity protection safeguards the device from wiring errors, enhancing installation reliability.

Performance-wise, the IE2002-0000 provides a max output current of 200 mA through a robust M12 connector connection type, enabling reliable signal transmission over industrial cabling. Its switching output is configured as NPN, normally open with a 3-wire output function, facilitating straightforward integration with PLC inputs and safety relays. The sensor’s short-circuit protection further secures operations against inadvertent overloads, reducing downtime risks. With physical dimensions of ø12 mm x 60 mm, the device occupies minimal space, allowing flexible placement even in compact machine assemblies. It remains fully operational across a wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to +70 °C, ensuring stable performance in environments subject to temperature fluctuations. This combination of electrical and mechanical resilience underpins the IE2002-0000’s ability to maintain high detection accuracy in continuous production cycles.

Reliability is at the core of the IE2002-0000 design, delivering consistent detection with minimal maintenance requirements. Integrated reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection features increase system uptime and simplify troubleshooting procedures. The flush mounting style prevents protrusion into work zones, minimizing the risk of accidental damage and interference with surrounding equipment. Designed for plug-and-play installation, the sensor’s standardized M12 connector supports rapid deployment or replacement within automated assemblies. Typical applications include position sensing in conveyor systems, object detection in packaging machinery, and presence monitoring in assembly lines where compact, durable sensors are essential.
