Ethernet modules

The Ethernet modules offer a scalable solution for directly connecting digital inputs and outputs in the field. They support everything from simple signal acquisition to powerful actuator control with integrated current measurement, counter functions, and configurable switching functions.

Decentralised I/O with daisy-chain and high-speed counting function

Thanks to daisy-chain capability, robust design, and application-oriented variants, ifm Ethernet modules are ideal for modular, decentralised automation concepts.
