The IFM AC2505 is a compact, active AS-Interface ClassicLine I/O module optimized for harsh industrial environments, providing 4 digital PNP inputs for connecting sensors directly to AS-i networks without complex wiring. It draws power (26.5-31.6V DC, 240mA total from AS-i) and communicates through the standard yellow AS-i flat cable, supporting up to 62 slaves per network with IR addressing capability for fast commissioning. Each M12 A-coded input offers sensor excitation (18-30V via flat cable), short-circuit protection, and reliable switching (high >11V, 6-10mA input current), with 200mA max load per channel.
Featuring IP67-rated polycarbonate housing, it withstands -25°C to +70°C temperatures, vibrations, and contamination typical in factory automation. The module connects seamlessly to AS-i lower sections (FK series), enabling modular expansion while green/red LEDs provide input status and diagnostics. Compliant with EN50081-1/EN50295 standards, it’s ideal for distributed control in material handling, assembly lines, and machine building requiring robust field I/O.
