Product Description:
The IP2001-B318 digital output module belongs to the IP Compact Box Units series produced by Beckhoff. Designed as a sealed block I/O device, it mounts directly on machinery to switch 24 VDC loads under fieldbus control. By moving discrete outputs out of the control cabinet, the unit shortens cable runs and supports decentralized automation tasks in washdown or dust-prone zones. It offers eight channels that can be individually activated by the controller, allowing actuators, indicator lamps, or small solenoids to be energized at the installation point.
Each channel operates from a nominal supply of 24 VDC and can deliver up to 0.5 A per channel to the connected device. The internal control electronics draw only 20 mA per channel, so most of the available power remains reserved for the load itself. Connection to the next box is provided through a single 1 × M8 socket with four pins, while load conductors exit through individual M8 screw-in sockets that help maintain the enclosure seal. With protection to IP65/IP66/IP67, the housing resists dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for conveyors, packaging lines, and outdoor equipment. The module supports ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads without additional suppression components.
Inside the fieldbus image, the device presents an exact 8-bit output, so the PLC can address each channel with one bit and receive immediate diagnostic feedback through the onboard LEDs. Electrical errors are reduced by reverse polarity protection on the supply pins and by complete fieldbus isolation between logic and power circuits. A fast electronic cut-off limits fault currents to 1.5 A, helping protect wiring during overload conditions. Additional features include a dedicated M8 power feed connector, a per-channel sensor supply, and LED status indication that shows channel state and fault conditions without opening the enclosure.
