The AC2024 is an AS-Interface AirBox designed for decentralized pneumatic control. It combines two digital inputs with two pneumatic outputs in a compact field-mounted module. M12 connections provide convenient integration with industrial sensors. The AirBox architecture reduces wiring between control cabinets and pneumatic actuators. It is suitable for machine automation applications requiring coordinated pneumatic movement and sensor feedback.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The AC2024 provides two digital sensor inputs and two pneumatic outputs. Sensor feedback can be used for actuator position and sequence control. Pneumatic outputs allow two controlled pneumatic functions to be integrated into the machine. AS-i communication connects the module with the automation controller. The field-oriented design allows installation close to the actuator. This helps create shorter and more organized machine wiring.
Sensors provide digital signals to the input channels. These signals are transferred through AS-i to the controller. Output commands are sent back to the AirBox through the same network. The pneumatic outputs then control connected pneumatic functions. Sensor feedback allows the controller to confirm process conditions. This supports automated pneumatic sequences.
AS-i status indication helps identify communication conditions. Channel LEDs assist in confirming input and output switching. Pneumatic tubing should be checked for leakage. M12 connectors should be inspected for secure connection. Compressed-air quality should be maintained appropriately. Functional testing helps ensure reliable actuator operation.
