IFM Electronic AL4243

Ethernet module

AL4243 iFM is a combined Ethernet I/O module (Modbus TCP) for the food industry.
The module's key advantage is its exceptional resistance to aggressive environments: thanks to its stainless steel housing and connectors, it is resistant to harsh detergents and regular disinfection.
This model is a "smart" distributed I/O node designed specifically for areas with high sanitary requirements.

The device integrates 8 digital inputs and 8 outputs in a single housing, allowing simultaneous reading of sensor signals and control of actuators (valves, drives) with a current of up to 3.6 A.
