The ifm efector’s CompactLine IO-Link Module series facilitate the connection of sensors and actuators to an IO-Link system. Each module uses one IO-Link master port and offers up to 16 inputs, or 20 outputs. Data and power travel over standard unshielded M12 cable, so wiring stays simple and the cost per I/O channel stays low.

The AL2400 and AL2401 take two PNP inputs on each M12 port, for 8 or 16 sensors. Their fully potted housings are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Where space is tight, the AL2410 and AL2411 configurations use compact M8 sockets for 4 or 8 sensors. The AL2330 and AL2331 models drive 12 to 20 actuators, with two PNP outputs per M12 port and up to 1.8 A per output. The AL2230 and AL2231 variants are rated up to IP69K when fitted with stainless steel protective caps, ideal for washdown applications especially in the food and beverage industry. The AL2336 (IP67) and AL2236 (IP69K) models can be used in safety circuits up to PL d to ISO 13849-1. LED indicators show operation, switching status, and faults at each port, optimizing setup and troubleshooting.
