Product Description:
The IE4132 is an analog output extension module manufactured by Beckhoff for the IE Extension Box Units series. It attaches to decentralized fieldbus junctions to generate precise voltage references for drives, proportional valves, and other actuators located on a machine frame. By translating digital command words from the controller into stable voltage levels, the unit eliminates long analog cable runs and brings motion or process signals directly to the point of use.
Functionally, the module is rated as an analog voltage output device, meaning its terminals deliver a set voltage rather than current. It provides four channels, so four separate actuators can be driven from one housing. Each channel processes data with 16-bit resolution. Together with an output data width of 4 × 16 bits, this capability provides 65,536 discrete voltage steps for fine control. Conversion is completed in less than 4 ms, reducing latency between the fieldbus command and the physical signal. The driver stage draws its actuator supply from the load voltage UP rail, separating the load circuit from the electronics. Channel isolation is provided from the field supply, but the channels are not isolated from one another, allowing fast common-mode equalization. Downstream communication continues through one 4-pin M8 socket, which supports the connection of additional extension boxes in a daisy chain.
The outputs support loads with resistance greater than 5 kΩ, allowing the driver to maintain accuracy without excessive current. Power and control lines enter through one 4-pin M8 connector, while output wiring leaves through an M12 screw-in header. The output stage is energized from the Beckhoff I/O system’s control voltage rail and shares its ground reference with the common 24 V DC supply. Overall fieldbus isolation depends on the bus coupler installed ahead of the extension box. This arrangement allows the module to operate with EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, or other supported networks without changes to the module hardware.
