3500/22M-01-01-CN Touch, as the most direct way for humans to interact with the world, has been cleverly integrated into the field of industrial automation by ifm. In the industrial world of high efficiency and precision, ifm’s innovative IO-Link expansion module AL5021 and KTx series capacitive touch switches, with their outstanding performance and flexibility, make machine control more intuitive and intelligent.

IO-Link expansion module AL5021

IO-Link digital connectivity, as an interface for smart sensors and devices, has proven its worth. However, many machines still rely on conventional wiring to PLC controllers, such as button modules, control panels, lighthouses or valve islands. The IO-Link expansion module AL5021, with its 16 digital input or output direct connection capability, effectively solves this problem.
These channels can not only output signals, but also automatically feed back their state to the input, simplifying the configuration process. When the module is not used as an output, external signals can also be detected as input signals.

02 Flexible installation and easy connection

The module is connected to the IO-Link master station via an M12 connector, and its compact sealing design 3500/22M-01-01-CN allows it to be flexibly installed in the panel, in the button housing or directly in the cable line.

03 Strong plastic housing

The sealed plastic housing with IP67 protection ensures stable operation of the module in harsh environments.

04 Power Supply for the external actuator

The module is powered by the IO-Link A port master station, and the total current consumption of all IO is up to 1A, providing an efficient power supply for external actuators.

Io-link expansion module AL5021, 16 IO channels for input or output signals, combined with the3500/22M-01-01-CN KTx series capacitive touch switch, can achieve low cost wiring and status indication, become the ideal partner for device control!
