IP3312-B520
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff IP3312-B520 from the IP Compact Box Units series is a robust input module designed for industrial sensor integration. As a four-channel input device with 4 inputs and M12 screw-type connections, it supports a broad spectrum of thermocouple and mV sensor types, including J, K, T, U, and others. The module reads temperatures up to -100 to +1370°C for type K sensors, making it ideal for high-precision temperature monitoring in demanding environments. Powered by 24 V DC, it delivers reliable performance in continuous operation while maintaining a compact footprint of just 30 mm in width.
Featuring advanced technical specifications, the IP3312-B520 offers DeviceNet communication for seamless network integration and configuration via KS2000 or explicit messaging. Its conversion time of 10 ms and sampling rate of 100 samples/s enable rapid data acquisition, while a resolution of 0.1°C ensures precise measurement accuracy of <±0.5% FS>. The module’s differential ground reference design minimizes common-mode interference, and support for sensors of types B, E, N, R, S, L and mV further extends its versatility. With a protection rating of IP65, IP66, IP67, the unit withstands dust ingress and water exposure without compromising signal integrity.
Built with a rugged plastic housing and certified by UL approval, the IP3312-B520 excels in harsh industrial settings, resisting shock, vibrations, and temperature extremes. Its broad supply voltage tolerance of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) provides compatibility with varied power systems, while the differential input connection enhances noise immunity. The combination of compact size, high protection ratings, and precise thermocouple measurement capabilities makes this module an invaluable asset in automated temperature control, process monitoring, and quality assurance applications across manufacturing and process industries.
