The AC2027 is an AS-Interface AirBox providing two digital inputs and two pneumatic outputs. It is designed to integrate sensor feedback and pneumatic actuation into a distributed automation system. M12 field connections simplify connection of compatible sensors. The module can be installed close to the machine actuator to reduce wiring complexity. It is suitable for automated pneumatic equipment and industrial machine control.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The module combines electrical sensor acquisition with pneumatic actuator control. Two digital inputs collect machine feedback signals. Two pneumatic outputs provide control of connected pneumatic functions. AS-i provides communication with the automation controller. The distributed architecture can improve machine wiring efficiency. The AirBox concept supports compact installation near the process.
Digital sensors provide status information through the input channels. AS-i transfers these states to the automation master. The controller generates output commands according to the machine program. The AirBox uses those commands to control the pneumatic outputs. Connected sensors provide feedback for sequencing. This enables synchronized pneumatic machine operation.
AS-i status LEDs help confirm network operation. Input and output indicators support channel-level troubleshooting. Pneumatic lines should be inspected for leakage and mechanical damage. M12 connections should remain clean and secure. Air supply quality should be maintained. Scheduled functional testing helps ensure dependable operation.
