Automation solutions with components that are not mounted in a control cabinet have become increasingly popular, allowing components such as IO-Link master modules to be locally installed directly on a machine or plant.

If the power supplies for a DC 24 V voltage supply are located in a control cabinet, however, voltage drop problems may occur as a result of long cable lengths. To prevent this problem, ifm now offers intelligent power supplies featuring an IO-Link interface that allow the voltage to be provided directly where it is needed.

The power supplies meet IP67 protection rating requirements, allowing the units to be mounted together with other components on a machine or plant. Integrated electronic circuit breakers in the power supplies protect the 24 V voltage supply from overvoltage and short circuits.

The new power supplies can be used to set the output voltages and nominal currents of individual circuits. Up-to-date values for voltages and currents of the individual circuits, input voltage, operating hours, internal temperature and other parameters can be read by means of the IO-Link, providing users with comprehensive diagnostic options. In addition, the IO-Link can be used to identify and address the cause of a fault if a circuit breakers trips and to reset the circuit breaker.

The power supplies are available in two versions with three-phase or single-phase voltage supply on the input side. The three-phase device has four output circuits with an option to set the maximum current up to 12 A. The single-phase device has two output circuits with up to 4 A each. The nominal power ratings are 500 W and 300 W respectively.

ifm also offers a portfolio of cables, splitters, connectors and sockets for both the input and output sides. On the input side, three- or five-pole plugs with 7/8" are used, while on the output side, M12 connection technology with A- or L-coded plug connections are used.
