I/O modules for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP

Ethernet modules for field applications

The decentralised IO modules serve as a gateway between binary sensors / actuators and the fieldbus. This means that binary input and output signals in the field can be transmitted directly via the fieldbus. No further transmission systems are needed in the fieldbus topology.

Robust and permanently tight

In combination with ifm’s ecolink connection technology, the ifm modules are the perfect choice, even for the most difficult applications. The materials and production methods are identical to the ifm jumper cables of the tried-and-tested EVC and EVF product series. The ecolink technology guarantees reliable, permanently ingress-resistant M12 connections of the connection cables.

Extension with digital input / output modules

The new Ethernet modules are the perfect addition to ifm’s IO-Link master family. They feature the same design, port configuration and standardised M12 connections. The upper 4 output ports allow an output current of up to 3.6 A, while the lower 4 ports enable the connection of sensors.

Integrated counter function

Sensor pulses are counted within the module and are cyclically transmitted to the PLC as a counter packet. This provides an accurate count that is not affected by the controller’s cycle time. Direct control of the outputs with different switching logics is thus enabled.

Powerful voltage supply

For power supply, the PerformanceLine modules have L-coded M12 connections with 2x16A. This allows daisy-chaining. The StandardLine modules offer A-coded M12 connections with 3.9 A (US) and 4 A (UA).
