The IFM AC2267 is a versatile and robust I/O module engineered for industrial automation environments requiring efficient power distribution, dependable system monitoring, and a flexible range of I/O connections. Designed with IFM’s characteristic attention to detail and quality, the AC2267 ensures stable and reliable performance within control cabinets and wider automation networks.

One of the module’s key strengths lies in its balanced I/O architecture. With four digital inputs and four digital outputs, the AC2267 offers the flexibility to both monitor sensor signals and control actuators or other devices. This design provides engineers with a compact yet multifunctional module capable of addressing a broad range of applications without the need for multiple separate units. Whether it is gathering process signals, activating machine components, or bridging communication tasks, the AC2267 delivers consistent and precise performance.

The device is powered via the AS-Interface (AS-i) network with a supply range of 26.5…31.6 V DC. Designed for energy efficiency, its current consumption from the AS-i system is limited to just 50 mA, ensuring minimal load on the primary communication bus. This low current draw makes it highly efficient and suitable for systems where optimised energy usage is critical.

To support more demanding output operations, the AC2267 is equipped with an additional auxiliary supply of 20 V DC, capable of delivering up to 4,300 mA. This auxiliary supply (AUX) ensures that the outputs have sufficient current capacity to reliably power connected devices, even in high-demand scenarios. By offloading power requirements from the AS-i bus, the module safeguards network stability while enabling robust output control.

Reliability is further reinforced by the inclusion of an integrated watchdog function, a critical feature for modern automation. The watchdog continuously monitors system activity, automatically detecting and responding to faults or irregularities. This prevents system downtime, enhances safety, and ensures uninterrupted performance, making the AC2267 a dependable choice for mission-critical operations.

From an installation standpoint, the AC2267 has been designed with ease of integration in mind. Its compact structure makes it suitable for control cabinet mounting, where space is often at a premium. The dual-supply design also allows engineers to implement power separation strategies, optimising both performance and reliability.

In practical use, the AC2267 excels across a wide variety of automation tasks, including machine building, process control, and plant operations. Its combination of flexible I/O, high current output capacity, and continuous monitoring makes it an indispensable component for engineers who demand both performance and dependability.

In summary, the IFM AC2267 delivers a powerful balance of functionality, safety, and efficiency. With its dual power supply system, integrated watchdog, and equal mix of inputs and outputs, it provides a future-proof solution for control cabinets and industrial automation networks.
