Beckhoff IL2302-C900 Ethernet Link Controller Box

Beckhoff IL2302-C900 Ethernet SPS Box is a compact PLC box featuring 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs powered from 24 V DC, with a nominal response time of 3 ms and a per‑channel load capacity of up to 0.5 A. It provides a single RJ45 Ethernet port and uses M12 service‑phase connectors for power, making it suitable as a remote I/O node in industrial networks. The device is designed to operate within Beckhoff’s IP‑Link fieldbus architecture, where the IP‑Link master resides in a Coupler Box (IL230x‑Bxxx or IL230x‑Cxxx), and I/O data are transported over four twisted-pair copper cables up to about 100 meters from the hub/switch to the fieldbus box. Supported protocols include UDP‑ADS, TCP‑ADS, Fast‑ADS, Modbus TCP, and Real‑time Ethernet, enabling seamless integration with TwinCAT/ADS environments and third‑party controllers via Modbus TCP. This SPS Box is intended for Ethernet‑based automation architectures as a fieldbus/remote I/O box to interface sensors and actuators at the machine or line level.
