I/O modules for control cabinets

Input/Output (I/O) modules facilitate data transfer by connecting sensors, switches, and actuators to a system's controller.

Compact I/O modules from ifm are designed for use in a control cabinet and in the field and offer benefits, such as:

  • Space-saving, compact design
  • Integrates up to 16 sensors and/or actuators quickly and easily
  • Prepared for DIN rail mounting and is also suited to wall mounting

The IO-Link I/O module simplifies integration of sensors and actuators with conventional wiring in the control cabinet as well as in field applications with low ingress protection class requirements, such as in protected machine housings or under clean room conditions.

Up to 16 devices (sensors and/or actuators) can be integrated by means of the I/O module. The spring clamp system helps ease and speed of assembly, while the ports of the I/O module allow for flexible configuration as inputs or outputs.

If sensors are connected to the IO-Link data communication technology using the I/O module, the sensor information can be read out centrally and IO-Link devices can also be configured centrally.

The module is supplied with power from an IO-Link A-port master. The total current consumption of all I/Os can be up to 1 A, which helps ensure an efficient supply of external actuators. The I/O module itself is also quick to install thanks to the integrated DIN rail mount and, at just 43 mm in width, takes up very little space.
