Where it sits in the control system
The AL2301 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 AL2301
IFM AL2301 — 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 AL2301; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Weight: 467.68 g — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Operating temperature: 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
Datasheets and compliance documents are available on request; quote the full catalog number when enquiring.
Common questions about AL2301
Q.For AL2301, what does the specification table state about rated torque?
The specification table lists rated torque = < 0.8 Nm for IFM AL2301. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under communication ports for catalog number AL2301?
For AL2301, communication ports is given as IO-Link. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering AL2301, which response time entry should be checked?
The response time entry quoted above is < 1 ms. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of AL2301 before ordering?
Match the catalog number AL2301 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the AL2301 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number AL2301 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.
