IFM AC424S

The SmartPLC SafeLine+ 2ASi EIP serves as an EtherNet/IP gateway equipped with a fail-safe PLC, designed for effective data handling at the sensor actuator interface. Its integrated fieldbus interface ensures efficient communication, while the full graphic LCD display provides clear status updates for all AS-i slaves.

Engineered for DIN rail mounting, the gateway operates within a voltage range of 18 to 32 V DC and consumes less than 750 mA of current. It supports two AS-i masters, maintaining electrical separation for enhanced safety. The input circuit adheres to PNP standards, with a sensor supply of 24 V and a maximum input current of 7 mA.

Output capabilities include PNP circuit configuration, supporting a voltage range of 24 V DC and a maximum current load of 500 mA per output. The device is also characterized by short-circuit proofing and electrical separation.

Connectivity is facilitated through an Ethernet communication interface, utilizing UDP/IP protocol with transmission rates of 10 and 100 MBaud via an RJ45 connector. Operating in ambient temperatures from 0 to 45 °C and storage conditions between -20 to 70 °C, the gateway is suitable for various environments and features IP 20 protection.

In terms of safety, the product complies with ISO 13849-1: 2023 category 4 and IEC 61508 SIL 3 standards, with a mission time of up to 20 years. The AS-i version 3.0 and M4 master profile further enhance its classification capabilities. The overall design includes a weight of...
