Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The AL2231 is the device-level element in an IFM I/O module installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in packaging machines, conveyor transfer cells, small process skids, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for IFM AL2231
IFM AL2231 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number AL2231; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Response time: < 1 ms — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Communication ports: IO-Link — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about AL2231
Q.Which value is published under communication ports for catalog number AL2231?
For AL2231, communication ports is given as IO-Link. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering AL2231, which certifications entry should be checked?
The certifications entry quoted above is CE, cULus. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Where can I find the response time data for AL2231?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM AL2231 as < 1 ms. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Can the AL2231 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number AL2231 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for AL2231?
Send the full catalog number AL2231, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM AL2231.
