The PerformanceLine masters (AL14xx) feature an L-coded M12 connection that enables the convenient daisy chaining of supply voltage, accommodating up to 16 amps. Additionally, this series provides configurable B ports designed to support outputs with ratings of up to 2A.
DataLine masters (AL13xx) feature an economical M12 female connector for master power supply. This series also includes an extra IoT port for direct data transmission to a high-level software system, eliminating the PLC requirement and effectively separating machine control from IT networks.
The ifm electronic IO-Link Master CabinetLine - AL1900, featuring a PROFINET interface, ensures secure sensor data transmission at 10/100 Mbit/s, effectively segregating automation and IT networks. Using the provided COMBICON connector, you can connect up to 8 IO-Link sensors to the IO-Link Master. Simple DIN-rail mounting in your control cabinet further streamlines the process.
