IP2302-B310
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff IP Compact Box Units IP2302-B310 is a robust industrial I/O module designed to enhance automation systems in harsh environments. This compact unit features 4 inputs, 4 outputs with a max output current per channel of 0.5 A, supporting a rated load voltage of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) for varied sensor and actuator loads. With a Bus Interface of 1× M12 B-coded 5-pin socket and auto-detect data transfer rate up to 12 Mbaud, it ensures seamless integration into real-time communication networks. The module’s dimensions of 30×175×26.5 mm and construction from PA6 (polyamide) deliver a space-saving footprint and mechanical resilience. An input filter time of 3.0 ms provides reliable noise suppression, and support for both Input Signal Voltage Type 0: -3 to +5 V and Type 1: 11 to 30 V; 6 mA (EN 61131-2 type 2) broadens compatibility with diverse field devices.
Performance is optimized through individually short-circuit-proof outputs with dedicated output short-circuit protection, ensuring fault-tolerant operation. The integrated sensor supply draws from the control voltage (≤0.5 A total; short-circuit proof), providing stable power to connected devices. The module handles supported load types including ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads, while maintaining precise switching characteristics. Its protection rating of IP65/66/67 guarantees complete dust ingress protection and resistance to water jets, temporary immersion, and high-pressure cleaning. Automatic baud rate detection simplifies commissioning, and the B-coded M12 interface promotes secure, quick connections in compact installations.
Built for demanding applications, the IP2302-B310 delivers dependable performance in ambient conditions prone to vibration, moisture, and particulate exposure. Its rugged polyamide housing and high protection class support deployment in conveyors, packaging lines, and outdoor installations. Thanks to the standardized M12 bus interface and compact form factor, it integrates effortlessly with Beckhoff Ethernet-based control architectures and distributed I/O topologies. Maintenance is simplified by plug-and-play connectivity and self-diagnostics via the control system. This combination of reliability, flexibility, and high data throughput makes the IP2302-B310 ideal for factory automation, process control, and mobile machinery applications.
