Where it sits in the control system
The AL2321 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 AL2321
IFM AL2321 — 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 AL2321; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Weight: 435.932 g — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Storage temperature: -25...70 °C — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 208 x 59.3 x 38.4 mm — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Response time: < 1 ms — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
Datasheets and compliance documents are available on request; quote the full catalog number when enquiring.
Common questions about AL2321
Q.Which value is published under input type for catalog number AL2321?
