Where it sits in the control system
The AL2401 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 AL2401
IFM AL2401 — 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 AL2401; verify the catalog number against your bill of materials before requesting a quotation.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Supply voltage: 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Communication ports: 0.1 A — 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 AL2401
Q.For AL2401, what does the specification table state about communication ports?
The specification table lists communication ports = 0.1 A for IFM AL2401. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Which value is published under supply voltage for catalog number AL2401?
For AL2401, supply voltage is given as 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2). Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Before ordering AL2401, which mounting entry should be checked?
The mounting entry quoted above is 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Can the AL2401 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number AL2401 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.How do I confirm compatibility of AL2401 before ordering?
Match the catalog number AL2401 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
