The ifm efector Ethernet I/O Module offer compact designs for the collection of digital signals from up to 16 sensors and actuators over standard M12 connections. Data transmission to the controller occurs over PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT or Modbus TCP interfaces. Two built-in Ethernet ports allow simple line topologies, and the protocol-specific features are built in: S2 system redundancy for PROFINET and Device Level Ring for EtherNet/IP. Each port can carry up to 3.6 A and has short-circuit and overload detection, with LED indicators to show the status of the module, network, power supply and ports.

These Ethernet modules offer additional functionality beyond standard I/O, as each input can be debounced, stretched or inverted, and built-in counters capture signals up to 4.5 kHz without adding work for the PLC. Select models have L-coded Power IN and Power OUT ports, permitting daisy-chaining from module to module to cut wiring. Models ending in 2 are rated IP65 / IP66 / IP67 for general machine building. Models ending in 3 add IP69K protection and are designed for washdown areas in food and beverage processing.
