Where it sits in the control system
The AL2340 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 AL2340
IFM AL2340 — 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 AL2340; verify the catalog number against your bill of materials before requesting a quotation.
- Storage temperature: -25...70 °C — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Operating temperature: 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about AL2340
