Product Description:
The IP2021-B520-0000 Box Unit is used in industrial automation applications. The unit is manufactured by the well known company Beckhoff to be used in demanding environments.
The IP2021-B520-0000 box unit is made from PA6 polyamide material which indicates a durable and lightweight plastic housing, resistant to chemicals, abrasion and high temperatures. It uses standard M8 connectors which allows easy daisy chaining and secure connections in field installations. It has a 2 pair shielded cable (2 x 2 x 0.25 mm²) which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensures stable digital communication and power distribution in noisy environments. It has a flexibility in module configuration which is either done locally or through PC based KS2000 software. It has a size of 30 mm x 175 mm x 26.5 mm which supports space saving installations. It can adapt to the communication speed of the network up to 500 kbaud which ensures seamless integration and data flow in various setups. To allow real time or event driven digital output triggering it supports multiple communication types such as polling, cyclic and bit strobe.
The IP Compact Box Units series module supported distance varies with baud rate. It has a 500 volts electrical isolation which ensures safe operation and signal integrity by isolating control circuits from communication lines. It works on standard control voltage of 24 volts DC and in standard industrial temperature range of 0 to 55 Centigrade which makes it suitable for most factory or machine room environments. It meets mechanical durability standards such as EN 60068 which ensures stable performance even under mechanical vibration or impacts in harsh conditions. It supports simple and secure mounting using standard screw sizes which enables fast field installation.
