IFM AC1027

The AS-Interface PROFIBUS DP Gateway with Integrated PLC Functionality provides a centralized solution for data management in decentralized control applications. This device operates at a voltage of 24 DC and supports a maximum current consumption of less than 500 mA, ensuring efficient performance. The ControllerE 1Mstr DP RS232 designation highlights its capabilities as a single AS-i master, featuring electrical separation for enhanced safety.

The gateway is equipped with a variety of communication interfaces including RS232 and PROFIBUS, adhering to the EN 50170 transmission standard with adjustable rates ranging from 9600 to 115200 Baud. The RJ11 connector type ensures compatibility with various setups.

Designed for DIN rail mounting, the housing dimensions are 131 mm x 86 mm x 107 mm, constructed from aluminum and galvanized steel sheet, offering durability and protection rated at IP 20. The device operates effectively in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and can be stored in conditions ranging from -20°C to 70°C, with a maximum relative humidity of 95%.

Furthermore, the integrated display features multiple LED indicators (red, green, yellow) along with a full graphic LCD display, facilitating user-friendly monitoring and configuration. Note that replacement units for Krones systems must be sourced directly from Krones, as compatibility may vary.
