IFM AL4242

The ETH Module SL MB 8DO 8DI IP67 serves as a fieldbus module equipped with eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs, facilitating straightforward connections for actuators and sensors. This design ensures an organized wiring structure, making it suitable for applications involving large actuators.

This module operates within a voltage range of 20 to 30 DC and supports a maximum current load of 3.6 A. It features a high-frequency counter function that can switch outputs directly, with a count frequency reaching 4500 Hz. The inputs are compliant with IEC 61131-2 standards, ensuring reliability and short-circuit protection, while the outputs are short-circuit proof and can handle up to 3600 mA.

Designed for harsh industrial environments, the module is housed in a robust casing, rated IP 67 for protection against dust and water ingress. It operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of -25 to 60 °C, and can withstand storage temperatures from -25 to 85 °C, with a maximum relative humidity of 90%. The materials used include a PA orange housing and nickel-plated brass sockets.

The communication capabilities of the module include an Ethernet interface utilizing the Modbus TCP protocol, with transmission standards of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, allowing for data transmission rates of 10 MBit/s and 100 MBit/s. Factory settings include a default IP address of 192.168.1.250 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

For optimal performance and compatibility, the module is...
